Talk:Cartan's criterion

message: I deleted the claim that nilpotency is equivalent to vanishing of the Killing form as it is false. 
There are non-nilpotent Lie algebras whose Killing form vanishes.  Hopefully it won't violate the 
no original research principle if I give a counterexample further down.  I haven't found any reference 
to the fact that this equivalence is false.
Also, it seems that the standard usage of "Cartan's criterion" refers only to either the solvable or 
the semisimple case. Eg. 
this 
explicitly discusses both cases under the heading of "Cartan's criterion", and this only refers to the solvable case as 
"Cartan's criterion" (p.66), though it discusses the semisimple case too (p.68).  The only reference to 
nilpotency I could find is here, which correctly states that 
nilpotency implies that the Killing form vanishes (it is the converse that is false) but does not 
refer to this fact as Cartan's criterion.
Counterexample: let L be a complex vector space with a basis {a,b,c}.  There is a unique alternating 
bilinear form [,] such that [ab] = b, [ac] = i.c , [bc] = 0.  The only non-trivial case of the Jacobi 
identity is [a[bc]] + [b[ca]] + [c[ab]] = 0, which holds because each term vanishes individually.  Hence 
we have a Lie algebra.
For any x, y, [xy] is a linear combination of b, c, so [b[xy]] = [c[xy]] = 0.  Hence (ad b)(ad x) = 
(ad c)(ad x) = 0, so the Killing form * satisfies b*x = c*x = 0.  Finally, a*a = tr((ad a)^2)) -
tr((diag(0,1,i))^2) = tr(diag(0,1,-1) = 0. Thus * vanishes.
Finally, L is not nilpotent because it has no center (since ker(ad a) = <a>, ker(ad b) = ker(ad c) = 
 so the common kernel of the adjoint action is trivial). Alternatively, observe that [L,L] = 
 and [L,] = , so the upper central series stabilises at .

message: More generally, a finite-dimensional Lie algebra \mathfrak{g} is reductive if and only if it admits a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form.
Not sure why this claim is made in this article anyways, besides the fact that it is false:  take e.g. the associative algebra A = \mathbb{C}[z]/\langle z^2\rangle and consider the Lie algebra \mathfrak{g} = sl_2(\mathbb{C})\otimes A 
(usual definition with  [x\otimes f(z), y\otimes g(z)] = [x,y]\otimes f(z)g(z) ).  Then \mathfrak{g} in fact has a non-degenerate bilinear form but is not reductive... it has a single proper ideal sl_2(\mathbb{C})\otimes z which is abelian, so the adjoint representation is not reducible.
See also e.g. Favre & Santharoubane (1987).

The way that the by-products in pet food are taken care of is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum compared to how meat for human consumption is handled.
