A root of a polynomial P(z) is a number z_i such that P(z_i)=0. The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial P(z) of degree n has n roots, some of which may be ...

Every finite-dimensional Lie algebra of characteristic p=0 has a faithful finite-dimensional representation.

If A is a normed algebra, a net {e_i} in A is called an approximate identity for A if sup_(i)|e_i|<infty and if for each a in A, e_ia->a and ae_i->a. Though this definition ...

An operator Gamma=sum_(i=1)^me_i^Ru^(iR) on a representation R of a Lie algebra.

Let A be a unital C^*-algebra, then an element u in A is called co-isometry if uu^*=1.

Every finite-dimensional Lie algebra of characteristic p!=0 has a faithful finite-dimensional representation.

A nonassociative algebra obeyed by objects such as the Lie bracket and Poisson bracket. Elements f, g, and h of a Lie algebra satisfy [f,f]=0 (1) [f+g,h]=[f,h]+[g,h], (2) and ...

A simple root of a Lie algebra is a positive root that is not the sum of two positive roots.

An algebra in which the associator (x,x,x)=0. The subalgebra generated by one element is associative.

Let A be a C^*-algebra, then a state is a positive linear functional on A of norm 1.
