A Cohomological Proof that Real Representations of Semisimple Lie Algebras Have Q-Forms

A Lie algebra gQ over Q is said to be R-universal if every homomorphism from gQ to gl(n,R) is conjugate to a homomorphism into gl(n,Q) (for every n). By using Galois cohomology, we provide a short proof of the known fact that every real semisimple Lie algebra has an R-universal Q-form. We also provi...

description A Lie algebra gQ over Q is said to be R-universal if every homomorphism from gQ to gl(n,R) is conjugate to a homomorphism into gl(n,Q) (for every n). By using Galois cohomology, we provide a short proof of the known fact that every real semisimple Lie algebra has an R-universal Q-form. We also provide a classification of the R-universal Lie algebras that are semisimple.

It is a pleasure to thank V. Chernousov for a very helpful discussion about Tits algebras of special
 orthogonal groups, A. Rapinchuk for explaining how to prove Lemma 2.5, and the anonymous
 referees for numerous very insightful comments on a previous version of this manuscript, including
 some important corrections.
