  PlanetMath: commutator bracket
The commutator bracket is bilinear, skew-symmetric, and also satisfies the Jacobi identity.
Specializing even further we remark that, a vector field is just a homogeneous first-order differential operator, and that the commutator bracket for vector fields, when viewed as first-order operators, coincides with the usual, geometrically motivated vector field bracket.
This is version 5 of commutator bracket, born on 2002-04-02, modified 2004-12-15.

 Sophus Lie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lie's principal tool, and one of his greatest achievements, was the discovery that continuous transformation groups (now called after him Lie groups) could be better understood by "linearizing" them, and studying the corresponding generating vector fields (the so-called infinitesimal generators).
The generators are subject to a linearized version of the group law, now called the commutator bracket, and have the structure of what is today called a Lie algebra.

 Quiet by-pass vacuum motor - Patent 4621991
Armature grounding is achieved by a disk maintained in a recess in the commutator end bracket and urged by a spring against the bearing receiving the motor shaft.
A commutator end bracket 12, preferably of plastic construction, is connected by screws 14 to the fan end bracket 16, with the band 18 interposed and retained therebetween.
As illustrated, the commutator end bracket 12 is provided with an opening 106 adapted for receiving the brush holder 34 therein, allowing the brush to communicate with the interior of the motor assembly.

 Constructing the Field
Hold the mounting bracket (H) on the plastic base and insert the screws through the holes marked 1 on the base and through the bracket.
The commutator is the portion of the motor where electric current enters and exits the electromagnet of the armature.
The commutator causes current to flow in one direction through the armature for half of a complete rotation and then reverses the flow direction for the other half of the rotation.

 COMMUTATOR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The subgroup generated by all commutators is called the derived group or the commutator subgroup of G: we consider the subgroup generated by the set of commutators because in general the set of commutators is not closed under the group operation.
Here, the commutator a,b of two elements a and b is also called the Lie bracket and is defined by a,b = ab - ba.
The commutator of two operators defined on a Hilbert space is an important concept in quantum mechanics since it measures how well the two observables described by the operators can be measured simultaneously.

 Motor-operated pump having a projection for protecting a commutator - Patent 5088900
An annular projection is formed on a central portion of a surface of bracket disposed in opposed relation to the commutator, and the annular projection is formed integrally with the bracket.
Alternatively, an annular projection is formed on a central portion of the commutator disposed in opposed relation to the bearing, and the annular projection is made of an electrically insulating material constituting the commutator, and is formed integrally with the commutator.
In the above-described conventional motor-operated pump of the in-tank type, the side 3a of the commutator 3 held in sliding contact with the brush 4 are disposed in opposed relation to the bracket 9 and the bearing 9a.

 PlanetMath: Lie algebra
However, Lie was able to solve the problem by remarking that a transformation group can be locally reconstructed from its corresponding ``infinitesimal generators'', that is to say vector fields corresponding to various 1-parameter subgroups.
In terms of this geometric correspondence, the group composition operation manifests itself as the bracket of vector fields, and this is very much a linear operation.
Thus the task of classifying group actions in the plane became the task of classifying all finite-dimensional Lie algebras of planar vector field; a project that Lie brought to a successful conclusion.

 Quiet by-pass vacuum motor - Patent 4669952
It has been found that by positioning the motor cooling fan 26 at the bottom of the motor assembly and adjacent the fan assembly, motor cooling is more efficient and the fan 26 is quieter, due in part to the fact that it is maintained centrally within the system as a whole.
It should now be appreciated that as the exhausting air passes through the passages between the vanes 60 and rolls over the edge of the insert 58, the air then changes direction from an inward movement to an outward movement, but in the same general circumferential direction.
The exhausting of the air is achieved at the edge of the fan end bracket while the diffusion of the same by the insert 58 and the separating wedges 48 of the fan end bracket 16 is achieved within the previously unused cavity 40.

For any vector field on a manifold, its commutator (Poisson bracket) with itself is zero.
On supermanifolds, spaces with both commuting and anti-commuting coordinates, this is no longer true due to the extra sign in the formula for commutator.
A homological vector field is an odd vector field that commutes with itself.

Remove the commutator end bracket clear of the yoke.
The brush gear can be removed by lifting it clear of the commutator and withdrawing it as a unit.
Care should be taken at this point to note the particular side occupied by each brush so that each may be replaced in its original setting on the commutator.

 Other Possible Systems and Symmetries
Such groups have come to be called noninvariance groups and are characterized by the fact that their generators do not necessarily commute with the Hamiltonian, but are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian with respect to the operation of commutator bracket.
That is, they satisfy the commutator equation which is the requirement that they in turn act like ladder operators for the Hamiltonian.
Vectors and tensors are defined by their transformation rules in such circumstances, so there is no problem in writing down the commutation rules (either as commutators or as Poisson brackets) which their components must satisfy with respect to the angular momentum components.

This fits in with using i{,} as the classical bracket, since that maps purely imaginary functions to purely imaginary functions.
Unfortunately, normal operators aren't closed under the commutator, and the corollary of this is that Q doesn't always map complex functions to normal operators.

The idea for the bracket model and its generalisations is to regard the knot itself as a discrete physical system - obtaining information about its topology by averaging over the states of the system.
In the case of the bracket model this summation is finite and purely combinatorial.
One way to see this is to just take the case of matrix Lie algebras with commutator brackets and interpret diagrammatically the formula that states that the Lie algebra is closed under the bracket operation.

 Zitterbewegung
The essence of the paper of Foldy and Wouthuysen was to show how one could construct a transformation which would bring a large class of Dirac Hamiltonians to even form.
When it is applied to the coordinate operator by taking the commutator bracket, as time derivatives are generally obtained, so as to obtain the velocity operator, the result is the transform of an intuitively acceptable quantity.
Thus, one could almost think that the paradoxes of the Dirac equation are the result of nothing more than a choice of representation, and the insistence of a separation of space and spin.
