Cartan subalgebras #

Cartan subalgebras are one of the most important concepts in Lie theory. We define them here. The standard example is the set of diagonal matrices in the Lie algebra of matrices.

Prop

Given a Lie module M of a Lie algebra L, LieSubmodule.IsUcsLimit is the proposition that a Lie submodule N ⊆ M is the limiting value for the upper central series.

This is a characteristic property of Cartan subalgebras with the roles of L, M, N played by H, L, H, respectively. See LieSubalgebra.isCartanSubalgebra_iff_isUcsLimit.

    Prop

    A Cartan subalgebra is a nilpotent, self-normalizing subalgebra.

    A splitting Cartan subalgebra can be defined by mixing in LieModule.IsTriangularizable R H L.
