# Lie algebras of associative algebras #

This file defines the Lie algebra structure that arises on an associative algebra via the ring commutator.

Since the linear endomorphisms of a Lie algebra form an associative algebra, one can define the adjoint action as a morphism of Lie algebras from a Lie algebra to its linear endomorphisms. We make such a definition in this file.

The bracket operation for rings is the ring commutator, which captures the extent to which a ring is commutative. It is identically zero exactly when the ring is commutative.

Equations
