The classification of simple Lie algebras over the complex numbers is well known. There are four infinite families (types A, B, C, D) corresponding to the Lie algebras $sl(n+1,\mathbb{C})$, $so(2n+1,\mathbb{C})$, $sp(2n,\mathbb{C})$, $so(2n,\mathbb{C})$ respectively, and five exceptional simple Lie algebras, E6, E7, E8, F4, G2.
i1 : simpleLieAlgebra("A",1)
o1 = Simple Lie algebra, type A, rank 1
o1 : LieAlgebra
|
i2 : simpleLieAlgebra("E",6)
o2 = Simple Lie algebra, type E, rank 6
o2 : LieAlgebra
