Lie algebra — In mathematics, a Lie algebra is an algebraic structure whose main use is in studying geometric objects such as Lie groups and differentiable manifolds. Lie algebras were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term… … Wikipedia
Nilradical of a Lie algebra — In algebra, the nilradical of a Lie algebra is a nilpotent ideal, which is as large as possible. The nilradical of a finite dimensional Lie algebra is its maximal nilpotent ideal, which exists because the sum of any two nilpotent ideals is… … Wikipedia
Semisimple Lie algebra — In mathematics, a Lie algebra is semisimple if it is a direct sum of simple Lie algebras, i.e., non abelian Lie algebras mathfrak g whose only ideals are {0} and mathfrak g itself. It is called reductive if it is the sum of a semisimple and an… … Wikipedia
Solvable Lie algebra — In mathematics, a Lie algebra g is solvable if its derived series terminates in the zero subalgebra. That is, writing for the derived Lie algebra of g, generated by the set of values [x,y] for x and y in g, the derived series … Wikipedia

List of abstract algebra topics — Abstract algebra is the subject area of mathematics that studies algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, and algebras. The phrase abstract algebra was coined at the turn of the 20th century to distinguish this … Wikipedia
Semisimple algebra — In ring theory, a semisimple algebra is an associative algebra which has trivial Jacobson radical (that is only the zero element of the algebra is in the Jacobson radical). If the algebra is finite dimensional this is equivalent to saying that it … Wikipedia
Elementary algebra — is a fundamental and relatively basic form of algebra taught to students who are presumed to have little or no formal knowledge of mathematics beyond arithmetic. It is typically taught in secondary school under the term algebra. The major… … Wikipedia
