For an affine algebraic group , its Lie algebra is the tangent space at the identity,Equivalently, it is the space of left-invariant derivations of the coordinate ring . The Lie bracket is the commutator of derivations,It is antisymmetric because . Associativity of composition givesafter all six triple products cancel in pairs, proving the Jacobi identity. This construction is the Lie algebra of an affine algebraic group.
