Quasi-Frobenius Lie Algebra

In mathematics, a quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra

over a field is a Lie algebra

equipped with a nondegenerate skew-symmetric bilinear form

, which is a Lie algebra 2-cocycle of with values in . In other words,

for all, in .

If is a coboundary, which means that there exists a linear form such that

then

is called a Frobenius Lie algebra.

Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or algebra:

    “A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
    Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
    Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
    Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
    I must lie down where all the ladders start,
    In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
