	CCR AND THE m DIMENSIONAL HEISENBERG ALGEBRAS
		For a kinematic Heisenberg algebra H(m) of QM in m [3] dimensional space, usually given as (generally unbounded) operators CCR acting on a specifically constructed Hilbert space, there is, axiomatically, and more abstractly, a nilpotent Lie algebra of 2m+1 dimensions given by by the defining Commutation Relations (CRs).
		In the case of the Heisenberg algebra, there is an interesting cross relationship within a q-p pair familiar from classical canonical mechanics stated as, momentum is the generator of spatial translations and position is the generator of momentum translations in the context of phase space.
		Semisimple algebras can be understood as constructed as a direct sum of simple Lie algebras, where the representation theory has the representations su(2) or so(3) playing a seminal role.

		In case of a Lie algebra, or Lie group, of endomorphisms of a finite dimensional vector space V - which is the case considered in the paper - there appears to be a conflicting terminology going back to the older literature.
		In the algebraic case, however, one makes the additional requirement that the connected component of the centre of G is a \emph{diagonizable} commutative connected group and so consists of \emph{semisimple} endomorphisms of the vector space V, where by definition G is an algebraic subgroup of GL(V).
		This means that an algebraic group G is \emph{defined} to be reductive in such a way that this holds iff a) its Lie algebra g is reductive (as an abstract Lie algebra) and,\emph{in addition}, b) the centre c(g) of g consists of semisimple endomorphisms of V, i.e.

	Research of Michael Barot
		To a unit form a Lie algebra is associated and it is shown that for a non-negative, connected unit form of corank 0,1 or 2 respectively, the resulting Lie algebras are simply-laced finite-dimensional simple, simply-laced affine Kac-Moody or simply-laced elliptic.
		Given an algebra A, which is a tree algebra or a strongly simply connected poset algebra, it is shown that, if the Euler form of A is non-negative of corank 2, then the algebra is derived equivalent to a tubular algebra or a poset algebra of very explicit type (certain pg-critical algebra).
		Furthermore the repetitive algebra of a tubular algebra is divided into slices, each of it containg the vertices to which the corresponding projectives are contained in the same tubular family.

	Draft: Geometry and Lie Groups
		Lie groups are beautiful, important, and useful because they have one foot in each of the two great divisions of mathematics --- algebra and geometry.
		The properties of a Lie algebra are identified with the properties of the original Lie group in the neighborhood of the origin.
		A typical Lie algebra is a semidirect sum of a semisimple Lie algebra and a solvable subalgebra that is invariant.

		The complete listing of the simple Lie groups is the basis for the theory of the semisimple Lie groups and reductive groups, and their representation theory.
		This has turned out not only to be a major extension of the theory of compact Lie groups (and their representation theory), but to be of basic significance in particle physics.
		It is shown that a simple Lie group has a simple Lie algebra that will occur on the list given there, once it is complexified (that is, made into a complex vector space rather than a real one).

	Operations on Lie Algebras
		The map giving the morphism from the (structure constant) Lie algebra L to M. Either L is a subalgebra of M, in which case the embedding of L into M is returned, or M is a quotient algebra of L, in which case the natural epimorphism from L onto M is returned.
		Given an algebra L and either a subalgebra S of dimension m of L or a sequence Q of m linearly independent elements of L, return a sequence containing a basis of L such that the first m elements are the basis of S resp.
		Let L be a Lie algebra.If L has a nondegenerate Killing form, then (over some algebraic extension of the ground field) L is the direct sum of absolutely simple Lie algebras.

		In this section, we clear the ground work in order to study structure of complex semisimple Lie algebras.
		The basic idea of all this is to first prove that every semisimple Lie algebra is linear.
		Therefore, if we can find an abelian subalgebra, whose every element is ad-semisimple, then adjoint representation will break the Lie algebra into so-called root spaces (eigenspaces for this subalgebra acting on original Lie algebra).

		The reason for separating the unitary case is that these Lie algebras are real Lie algebras, in spite of the fact that their elements are matrices with complex elements.
		Thus the coordinates for the elements of the unitary Lie algebras must be declared to be real, what we did by the help of the package PEKKA JANHUNEN: Declare.m, in http://www.mathsource.com/Content22/Enhancements/Algebraic/0202-149.

		Def: The maximal solvable ideal of a Lie algebra L is written rad(L) and called the radical of L. Def: A Lie algebra is called semisimple if rad(L) = 0.
		Thus every semisimple Lie algebra is in some sense "glued together" from a solvable Lie algebra and a semisimple Lie algebra.
