Lie algebras are an important class of algebras which arise throughout mathematics and physics. We report on the formalisation of Lie algebras in Lean's Mathlib library. Although basic knowledge of Lie theory will benefit the reader, none…

We study the representation theory of finite-dimensional $\omega$-Lie algebras over the complex field. We derive an $\omega$-Lie version of the classical Lie's theorem, i.e., any finite-dimensional irreducible module of a soluble…

In this paper, we present a study on the prolongations of representations of Lie algebras. We show that a tangent bundle of a given Lie algebra attains a Lie algebra structure. Then, we prove that this tangent bundle is algebraically…

A bivariate representation of a complex simple Lie algebra is an irreducible representation having highest weight a combination of the first two fundamental weights. For a complex classical Lie algebra, we establish an expression for the…

Wigner found unreasonable the "effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences". But if the mathematics we use to describe nature is simply a coded expression of our experience then its effectiveness is quite reasonable. Its…
