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.

 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. en Інститут математики НАН України Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications A Cohomological Proof that Real Representations of Semisimple Lie Algebras Have Q-Forms Article published earlier |
