Talk:Lie algebra

Our definition of Lie algebra currently appears to be slightly wrong. If the base field has characteristic 2, then xy+yx=0 and x²=0 are not equivalent identities, and it's surely x²=0 that is required. I haven't attempted to fix the article, since there appears to be a new Wikipedia bug that corrupts HTML character entity references. --Zundark, 2002 Feb 7

It seems this bug only affects the preview, so I've modified the article now. --Zundark, 2002 Feb 7
