Algebra Versus Its Anti-symmetric Algebra

Abstract

For a given algebra A= 〈A,+,·〉, we can define its anti-symmetric algebra A-= 〈A-,+,[ , ]〉 using the commutator [ , ] of A, where the sets A and A- are the same. We show that there are isomorphic algebras A1 and A2 such that their anti-symmetric algebras are not isomorphic. We define a special type Lie algebra and show that it is simple.
