The normalizer of Lie submodules and subalgebras. #
Given a Lie module M
over a Lie subalgebra L
, the normalizer of a Lie submodule N ⊆ M
is
the Lie submodule with underlying set { m | ∀ (x : L), ⁅x, m⁆ ∈ N }
.
The lattice of Lie submodules thus has two natural operations, the normalizer: N ↦ N.normalizer
and the ideal operation: N ↦ ⁅⊤, N⁆
; these are adjoint, i.e., they form a Galois connection. This
adjointness is the reason that we may define nilpotency in terms of either the upper or lower
central series.
Given a Lie subalgebra H ⊆ L
, we may regard H
as a Lie submodule of L
over H
, and thus
consider the normalizer. This turns out to be a Lie subalgebra.

Regarding a Lie subalgebra H ⊆ L
as a module over itself, its normalizer is in fact a Lie
subalgebra.

A Lie subalgebra is an ideal of its normalizer.
A Lie subalgebra H
is an ideal of any Lie subalgebra K
containing H
and contained in the
