The Classical Lie algebras are more simple than they may appear

The purpose of this dissertation is to consider the classical Lie Algebras, namely: so(n, C), sl(n, C) and sp(n, C), n ≥ 2. Our aim will be to prove that if a Lie Algebra L is classical, except for so(2, C) and so(4, C), then it is simple. The classification and analysis will include finding their r...
