Let . The Special linear Lie algebra acts on . The wedge productis a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, and the action preserves it because acts trivially on . This gives an injective homomorphismBoth Lie algebras have dimension , so the map is an isomorphism. This realizes the Isomorphism between so6 and sl4.
