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.

An associative ring gives rise to a Lie ring by taking the bracket to be the ring commutator.
Equations
We can regard a module over an associative ring A as a Lie ring module over A with Lie
bracket equal to its ring commutator.
Note that this cannot be a global instance because it would create a diamond when M = A,
specifically we can build two mathematically-different bracket A As:
@Ring.bracket A _which says⁅a, b⁆ = a * b - b * a(@LieRingModule.ofAssociativeModule A _ A _ _).toBracketwhich says⁅a, b⁆ = a • b(and thus⁅a, b⁆ = a * b)
See note [reducible non-instances]

An associative algebra gives rise to a Lie algebra by taking the bracket to be the ring commutator.
Equations
A representation of an associative algebra A is also a representation of A, regarded as a
Lie algebra via the ring commutator.
See the comment at LieRingModule.ofAssociativeModule for why the possibility M = A means
this cannot be a global instance.
Equations
A Lie module yields a Lie algebra morphism into the linear endomorphisms of the module.

A subalgebra of an associative algebra is a Lie subalgebra of the associated Lie algebra.

Given an equivalence e of Lie algebras from L to L', and an element x : L, the conjugate
of the endomorphism ad(x) of L by e is the endomorphism ad(e x) of L'.
