Lie algebras MOC

Direct product of Lie algebras

The direct product is the categorical product in . Given two Lie algebras , their product consists of the direct product vector space¹ together with a bracket given by

Hence regarded as subspaces and commute and are ideals.

Internal direct product

Let be subalgebras such that and . Then is the internal direct product . Equivalently, with both ideals.
