TauCeti.Algebra.Lie.Subalgebra.Automorphism

Invariant Lie subalgebras under automorphisms #

An automorphism σ of a Lie algebra L normalises a Lie subalgebra H when H.map σ = H. This file records that the inverse normalises H too, and identifies the inverse of Mathlib's LieEquiv.ofSubalgebras restriction with the corresponding restriction of the inverse automorphism.

Nothing here involves weights, nilpotence, or any hypothesis on the base ring beyond commutativity. What the automorphism does to the root spaces of H is in TauCeti/Algebra/Lie/Weights/Automorphism.lean.

An automorphism acting by -1 on a subalgebra normalises it, since a subalgebra is closed under negation.

The inverse of a normalising automorphism normalises H as well.

The inverse of the restriction of a normalising automorphism is the restriction of the inverse automorphism.
