A periodisation of semisimple Lie algebras

Anna Larsson

In this text we study classical Lie algebras. We prove that a periodisation of such Lie algebras without $\s$-component can be presented as a free graded Lie algebra modulo quadratic relations only. Our approach will be through a Chevalley basis and our method relies on elementary tools only.
