Lie algebras of matrices #

An important class of Lie algebras are those arising from the associative algebra structure on square matrices over a commutative ring. This file provides some very basic definitions whose primary value stems from their utility when constructing the classical Lie algebras using matrices.

def lieEquivMatrix' {R : Type u} [CommRing R] {n : Type w} [DecidableEq n] [Fintype n] :
Module.End R (nR) ≃ₗ⁅R Matrix n n R
