Examples of Lie Algebras
There are the following examples of Lie algebras:
- A rather comprehensive family of 3-dimensional Lie
algebras
- The Lie algebra of affine transformations of the line
- All abelian Lie algebras on free modules
- The Lie algebra of upper triangular matrices
- The Lie algebra of strictly upper triangular matrices
See also

def three_dimensional(R, a, b, c, d, names=['X', 'Y', 'Z']):
r"""
The 3-dimensional Lie algebra over a given commutative ring `R`
with basis `\{X, Y, Z\}` subject to the relations:
.. MATH::
[X, Y] = aZ + dY, \quad [Y, Z] = bX, \quad [Z, X] = cY + dZ
where `a,b,c,d \in R`.
This is always a well-defined 3-dimensional Lie algebra, as can
be easily proven by computation.

def three_dimensional_by_rank(R, n, a=None, names=['X', 'Y', 'Z']):
r"""
Return a 3-dimensional Lie algebra of rank ``n``, where `0 \leq n \leq 3`.
Here, the *rank* of a Lie algebra `L` is defined as the dimension
of its derived subalgebra `[L, L]`. (We are assuming that `R` is
a field of characteristic `0`; otherwise the Lie algebras
constructed by this function are still well-defined but no longer
might have the correct ranks.) This is not to be confused with
the other standard definition of a rank (namely, as the
dimension of a Cartan subalgebra, when `L` is semisimple).
INPUT:
- ``R`` -- the base ring
- ``n`` -- the rank
- ``a`` -- the deformation parameter (used for `n = 2`); this should
be a nonzero element of `R` in order for the resulting Lie
algebra to actually have the right rank(?)
- ``names`` -- (optional) the generator names
