Levi decomposition is a fundamental concept in the study of Lie algebras that states any finite-dimensional Lie algebra can be uniquely expressed as a direct sum of a solvable ideal and a semisimple Lie algebra. This structure reveals important insights about the properties of Lie algebras, particularly how they relate to solvability and nilpotency, as well as their direct sum and semidirect product structures.
congrats on reading the definition of Levi Decomposition. now let's actually learn it.
