Details
[X1,…,Xn] represents the bracketed product that extends the Lie bracket product called the left-normed bracket, which is defined recursively by
For any Lie algebra, a subset
J of the symmetric group
Sn is said to be a Jacobi subset if it satisfies
.
This identity is also called the
n th-order Jacobi identity of
J.
A Jacobi subset J can be labeled Jk,l for k+l≤n, and Jk,l is called a Jacobi subset of (k,l)-order.
The explicit expression for
Jk,l is represented by the following complex expression.
Despite its complexity, it can be organized using the shuffle
Sh1.
For example, since J1,1={{1,2},{2,1}} for n=2=1+1, the second-order Jacobi identity is the anti-commutator.
And since J1,2=J2,1={{1,2,3},{2,3,1},{3,1,2}} for n=3=1+2=2+1, the third-order Jacobi version is the standard Jacobi identity.
