Formal sums over a vector space Formal sums over a Lie algebra Let π© be Lie algebra over π and consider formal sums π©{π§} over π©. Then we have the alternating bilinear map fcalc [β,β]:π©{π§1}Γπ©{π§2}βπ©{π§1,π§2} so that [βπβππ₯ππ§π1,βπβππ¦ππ§π2]=βπ,πβπ[π₯π,π¦π]π§π1π§π2 where π₯π,π¦π βπ© for all π,π βπ.
