Representation Theory
The Killing form is a symmetric bilinear form associated with a Lie algebra that provides important insights into its structure and classification. It is defined using the Lie bracket, and its properties help in identifying whether the algebra is semisimple or not. The Killing form plays a significant role in understanding the representation theory of Lie algebras and how they relate to their corresponding Lie groups.
