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. |
