Talk:Algebraic bracket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know if it's legitimate to call this the algebraic bracket. It might be best to move this over to Nijenhuis-Richardson bracket and do the redirect the other way round. At least then someone who has a different algebraic bracket in mind can more readily insert their definition and disambiguate from algebraic bracket. Silly rabbit 15:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

As an afterthought, I decided to look up the Nijenhuis-Richardson bracket:

Nijenhuis, Albert; Richardson, R. W. Jr., Cohomology and deformations in graded Lie algebras, Bull. AMS 72 (1966), 1-29.

Nijenhuis, Albert; Richardson, R. W. Jr., Deformation of Lie algebra structures, J. Math. and Mech., 17 (1967), 89-105.

I don't think the definition given in the article entirely correct. Silly rabbit 16:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
