Antisymmetry of Killing-lowered structure constants

ID: antisymmetry-of-killing-lowered-structure-constants

Lower the output index of the structure constants of a Lie algebra with its Killing form. The Lie bracket makes the result antisymmetric in the first two indices, while invariance gives , making it antisymmetric in the last two indices. These two adjacent transpositions imply total antisymmetry. Nondegeneracy of the Killing form is unnecessary.
