To what extent is the structure of a Lie-algebra L over a field F determined by the bilinear form

on L that is derived from a matrix representation

of L with finite degree d(Δ) by forming the trace of the matrix products

Such a bilinear form is a function with two arguments in L, values in F and the properties:
