We let Z denote the ring of rational integers, Q the field of rational numbers, R the field of real numbers, and C the field of complex numbers.

For elements e and f of a Lie algebra, [e,f] denotes the bracket of e and f. A generalized Cartan matrix C = (cij) is a square matrix of integers satisfying cii = 2, cij ≦ 0 if i ≠ j, cij = 0 if and only if cji = 0. For any generalized Cartan matrix C = (cij) of size l × l and for any field F of characteristic zero, denotes the Lie algebra over F generated by 3l generators e1, …, el, h1, …, hl, f1, …, fl with the defining relations

for all i, j,

for distinct i, j.
