Lie algebra automorphism

Let 𝔤 be a Lie algebra. An automorphism 𝜑 Aut𝔤 is an isomorphism 𝜑 :𝔤 𝔤. #m/def/lie In particular,

  1. If 𝔤 𝔤𝔩(𝑉), then GL(𝑉) Aut𝔤.
  2. The Exponential of a derivation on a Lie algebra is an automorphism.
  3. Applying the above to the adjoint representation yields Inner automorphisms Inn𝔤 Aut𝔤.
