Invariance of the Killing form givesIf , the right-hand side vanishes for every , so . Thus is an ideal.
Let . For and ,The Cartan solvability criterion makes solvable. The kernel of the adjoint map on lies in its center and is abelian, so is itself solvable. This proves the Solvability of the radical of the Killing form.
