Minimal faithful representations of reductive Lie algebras
Abstract
We prove an explicit formula for the invariant μ() for finite-dimensional semisimple, and reductive Lie algebras over . Here μ() is the minimal dimension of a faithful linear representation of . The result can be used to study Dynkin's classification of maximal reductive subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras.
