Non-associative Algebra
The adjoint representation is a specific way of representing a Lie algebra using linear transformations. In this representation, each element of the Lie algebra acts as a linear operator on itself via the Lie bracket operation, allowing us to study the structure of the algebra in a more concrete manner. This concept bridges the gap between Lie algebras and their corresponding Lie groups, helping to explore their relationships and properties.
congrats on reading the definition of adjoint representation. now let's actually learn it.
