Hi!
Im messing around with a Lie 3-Algebra at the moment(Im not sure how widespread these are. They obey similar rules to a Lie Algebra).
I have a bracket that looks like this:
[x1,x2,x3]=c*x0+a*x1+g*x2+h*x3, with c,a,g,h, some structure constants.
I also have the relation a=-g.
Am I allowed to then say [x1,x2,x3]=c*x0+a*x2-g*x2+h*x3
or [x1,x2,x3]=c*x0=h*x3?
I suppose my question amounts to does a=-g also mean a*x^1=-g*x^2?
thanks so much
