Cartan's Formula is a key result in the study of Lie algebra cohomology that relates the cohomology of a Lie algebra to its representation theory. This formula provides a way to compute the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra by using its derived functor, specifically linking the exterior algebra and the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. It plays an important role in understanding how these algebraic structures interact with differential forms and higher algebraic constructs.
