Lie Ideals #
This file defines Lie ideals, which are Lie submodules of a Lie algebra over itself.
They are defined as a special case of LieSubmodule
, and inherit much of their structure from it.
We also prove some basic properties of Lie ideals, including how they behave under
Lie algebra homomorphisms (map
, comap
) and how they relate to the lattice structure
on Lie submodules.

An ideal of a Lie algebra is a Lie subalgebra.

Equations
An ideal of L
is a Lie subalgebra of L
, so it is a Lie ring.

A morphism of Lie algebras f : L → L'
pushes forward Lie ideals of L
to Lie ideals of L'
.
Note that unlike LieSubmodule.map
, we must take the lieSpan
of the image. Mathematically
this is because although f
makes L'
into a Lie module over L
, in general the L
submodules of
L'
are not the same as the ideals of L'
.
Equations
Instances For
A morphism of Lie algebras f : L → L'
pulls back Lie ideals of L'
to Lie ideals of L
.
Note that f
makes L'
into a Lie module over L
(turning f
into a morphism of Lie modules)
and so this is a special case of LieSubmodule.comap
but we do not exploit this fact.

.
Note that this is not a special case of LieSubmodule.subsingleton_of_bot
. Indeed, given
I : LieIdeal R L
, in general the two lattices LieIdeal R I
and LieSubmodule R L I
are
different (though the latter does naturally inject into the former).
In other words, in general, ideals of I
, regarded as a Lie algebra in its own right, are not the
same as ideals of L
contained in I
.
The kernel of a morphism of Lie algebras, as an ideal in the domain.

Instances For
The range of a morphism of Lie algebras as an ideal in the codomain.
Equations
Instances For
The condition that the range of a morphism of Lie algebras is an ideal.
Equations
Instances For
Regarding an ideal I
as a subalgebra, the inclusion map into its ambient space is a morphism
of Lie algebras.
Equations
Instances For
The natural equivalence between the 'top' Lie ideal and the enclosing Lie algebra.
