Root systems of objects named for this mathematician are classified in Dynkin diagrams. (15[1])Objects named for this mathematician are semisimple if and only if their associated Killing form is non-degenerate, according to Cartan’s criterion. The tangent space at the identity of an object named for this mathematician is isomorphic to the space of (*) left-invariant vector fields on said object. Another object named for this mathematician is a vector space together with a bilinear map that is antisymmetric, satisfies the Jacobi identity, and is denoted by a pair of square brackets.
