Bilinearity and alternatingness of
are immediate. For three elements, the component of the Jacobi sum vanishes by the Jacobi identity in . In the component, the coefficient of a vector such as is
because the action is a Lie algebra representation; the other terms cancel cyclically in the same way. Hence the bracket satisfies Jacobi and defines the semidirect product of a Lie algebra and a module .
