Anti-Lie triple system
A triple system is a vector space over a field
together with a
-trilinear mapping
. A triple system
satisfying
![]() | (a1) |
![]() | (a2) |
![]() | (a3) |
for all , is called an anti-Lie triple system.
If instead of (a1) one has , a Lie triple system is obtained.
Assume that is an anti-Lie triple system and that
is the Lie algebra of derivations of
containing the inner derivation
defined by
. Consider
with
and
, and with product given by
,
,
for
,
(
). Then the definition of anti-Lie triple system implies that
is a Lie superalgebra (cf. also Lie algebra). Hence
is an ideal of the Lie superalgebra
. One denotes
by
and calls it the standard embedding Lie superalgebra of
. This concept is useful to obtain a construction of Lie superalgebras as well as a construction of Lie algebras from Lie triple systems.
