Lie algebras of matrices #

An important class of Lie algebras are those arising from the associative algebra structure on square matrices over a commutative ring. This file provides some very basic definitions whose primary value stems from their utility when constructing the classical Lie algebras using matrices.

def lieEquivMatrix' {R : Type u} [CommRing R] {n : Type w} [DecidableEq n] [Fintype n] :
Module.End R (n → R) ≃ₗ⁅R⁆ Matrix n n R

The natural equivalence between linear endomorphisms of finite free modules and square matrices is compatible with the Lie algebra structures.

      For square matrices, the natural map that reindexes a matrix's rows and columns with equivalent types, Matrix.reindex, is an equivalence of Lie algebras.
