This is a totally unrelated change that I just noticed.

Evidently I am proposing to drop this definition (even though I only just introduced it!). This is because:
- The name is not really right: there is no derived series for a Lie module. If anything this should be the "lower central submodule".
- We don't need it since we should have the
derived_series
andlower_central_series
with these changes.

This is looking good. But would you mind adding some stuff around these definitions?
For example:
- in an abelian lie algebra, the bracket of any two ideals is
0
. - hence abelian lie algebras are nilpotent.
- N is nilpotent <=> \exists sequence of submodules N_i, such that [L, N_i] sub N_{i+1}, and N_0 = N, and N_i = 0 for large enough i.
- L is solvable <=> \exists sequence of ideal L_i, such that [L_i, L_i] sub L_{i+1}, and L_0 = L, and L_i = 0 for large enough i.
- hence L nilpotent implies L solvable
My hope/guess is that this might actually be not too unpleasant to formalise.
Thanks, I'd be happy to do as you suggest. I have some time this evening so let's see how far I can get.
Likewise, especially on the hoping bit! |
Note that this means we thus have: ```lean example [is_lie_abelian L] : ⁅I, J⁆ = ⊥ := by simp ```

@jcommelin I think I'm out of juice for today. Thanks for all the help. I note that two of your suggestions are still pending. I hope to pick this up tomorrow. |
@ocfnash maybe this is fine for the current PR. the other two points could be combined with things like: injective map from L to nilp/solv Lie algebra means that L is nilp/solv, and similarly surjective map from nilp/solv to L means that L is nilp/solv. |
