Trivial Lie modules and Abelian Lie algebras #
The action of a Lie algebra L
on a module M
is trivial if ⁅x, m⁆ = 0
for all x ∈ L
and
m ∈ M
. In the special case that M = L
with the adjoint action, triviality corresponds to the
concept of an Abelian Lie algebra.
In this file we define these concepts and provide some related definitions and results.

A Lie algebra is Abelian iff it is trivial as a Lie module over itself.
Equations
- IsLieAbelian L = LieModule.IsTrivial L L
Instances For
The kernel of the action of a Lie algebra L
on a Lie module M
as a Lie ideal in L
.
Equations
- LieModule.ker R L M = (LieModule.toEnd R L M).ker
Instances For
The largest submodule of a Lie module M
on which the Lie algebra L

Equations
Instances For
maxTrivSubmodule
is functorial.
Equations
- LieModule.maxTrivHom f = { toFun := fun (m : ↥(LieModule.maxTrivSubmodule R L M)) => ⟨f ↑m, ⋯⟩, map_add' := ⋯, map_smul' := ⋯, map_lie' := ⋯ }

The center of a Lie algebra is the set of elements that commute with everything. It can be viewed as the maximal trivial submodule of the Lie algebra as a Lie module over itself via the adjoint representation.
