	What IS a Lie Group?
		The An and Cn Lie Algebras are exceptional in the Landsberg-Manivel Projective Geometric Classification because the adjoint representation is not a fundamental representation for the An and Cn Lie Algebras.
		A Lie algebra is a logarithm of a Lie group, and a Lie group is an exponential of a Lie algebra.
		Therefore: the Spin(8) Lie algebra is the Lie algebra expansion of the imaginary octonion commutator algebra.

	Lie algebra
		A subalgebra of the Lie algebra g is a subspace[?] h of g such that [x, y] ∈ h for all x, y ∈ h.
		An ideal of the Lie algebra g is a subspace h of g such that [a, y] ∈ h for all a ∈ g and y ∈ h.
		The ideals are precisely the kernels of homomorphisms, and the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms is valid for Lie algebras.

		The ideals are precisely the kernels of homomorphisms, and the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms is valid for Lie algebras.
		Given a Lie group, a Lie algebra can be associated to it either by endowing the tangent space to the identity with the differential of the adjoint map, or by considering the left-invariant vector fields as mentioned in the examples.
		This association is functorial, meaning that homomorphisms of Lie groups lift to homomorphisms of Lie algebras, and various properties are satisfied by this lifting: it commutes with composition, it maps Lie subgroups, kernels, quotients and cokernels of Lie groups to subalgebras, kernels, quotients and cokernels of Lie algebras, respectively.

		Lie algebras are so-named in honour of Sophus Lie, a Norwegian mathematician who pioneered the study of these mathematical objects.
		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.
		Lie was the first to make significant contributions to this purely algebraic theory, but he was surely not the last.

	What ARE Clifford Algebras and Spinors?

		Lie algebras may also be defined axiomatically as non-associative algebras satisfying certain identities (the identities being those satisfied when the new product [x,y]=xy-yx is introduced on an associative algebra).
		The finite-dimensional representations of the Lie group and its associated Lie algebra are the same: this was the initial motivation for the study of Lie algebras (where one can employ more algebraic as opposed to analytic tools).
		An algebraic group is a group that is simultaneously (and compatibly) an algebraic set (i.e., a set with group operations defined by polynomial equations).

		Real and complex Lie algebras can be classified to some extent, and this classification helps in understanding Lie groups, which are the truly interesting objects in geometry, mathematical analysis and physics since they capture symmetries of analytical structures.

		Lie groups are important in mathematical analysis, physics and geometry because they serve to describe the symmetry of analytical structures.
		To every Lie group, we can associate a Lie algebra which completely captures the local structure of the group, at least if the Lie group is connected.
		If we require that the Lie group be simply connected, then the global structure is determined by its Lie algebra: for every finite dimensional Lie algebra g over F there is a unique (up to isomorphism) simply connected Lie group G with g as Lie algebra.

	Lie group Summary
		Lie groups are important in mathematical analysis, physics and geometry because they serve to describe the symmetry of structures.
		To every Lie group, we can associate a Lie algebra, whose underlying vector space is the tangent space of G at the identity element, which completely captures the local structure of the group.
		The global structure of a Lie group is in general not completely determined by its Lie algebra; for example, if Z is any discrete subgroup of the center of G then G and G/Z have the same Lie algebra (see the table of Lie groups for examples).

	What IS a Lie Group?
		Lie algebras are flat vector spaces with a bracket product that takes a times b to (1/2)(ab - ba) Since ab - ba is a measure of non-commutativity, define the commutator [a,b] = (1/2)(ab - ba) The Lie algebra must transform by exponentiation into a Lie group.
		We have seen that the 7-dim imaginary octonion commutator algebra lives inside the 28-dim Lie algebra of Spin(0,8) and that it is not a Lie algebra (It belongs to the class of algebras called Malcev algebras).

		The compactness of the Lie group avoids some thus-far unsolved difficulties in the quantization of gauge theories of noncompact lie groups, and is responsible for the discreteness of the area and volume spectra.
		The physical interpretation of the Lie algebra is that of infinitesimally small group transformations, and gauge bosons (such as the graviton) are Lie algebra representations, not Lie group representations.
		The effect of replacing a Lie algebra by a q-deformed version is that the series of its representations is truncated (in the case of the rotation group, instead of having representations labelled by all half-integral spins, one is left with all representations with total spin j less than some constant).
