-algebra

A linear algebra over a field any two elements of which generate a Lie subalgebra. The class of all binary Lie algebras over a given field generates a variety which, if the characteristic of is different from 2, is given by the system of identities

(*)

where

If the characteristic of is 2 and its cardinal number is not less than 4, the class of binary Lie algebras can be defined not only by the system of identities (*), but also by the identity

The tangent algebra of an analytic local alternative loop is a binary Lie algebra and vice versa.
