The normalizer of Lie submodules and subalgebras. #
Given a Lie module M over a Lie subalgebra L, the normalizer of a Lie submodule N ⊆ M is
the Lie submodule with underlying set { m | ∀ (x : L), ⁅x, m⁆ ∈ N }.
The lattice of Lie submodules thus has two natural operations, the normalizer: N ↦ N.normalizer
and the ideal operation: N ↦ ⁅⊤, N⁆; these are adjoint, i.e., they form a Galois connection. This
adjointness is the reason that we may define nilpotency in terms of either the upper or lower
central series.
Given a Lie subalgebra H ⊆ L, we may regard H as a Lie submodule of L over H, and thus
consider the normalizer. This turns out to be a Lie subalgebra.

Regarding a Lie subalgebra H ⊆ L as a module over itself, its normalizer is in fact a Lie
subalgebra.

A Lie subalgebra is an ideal of its normalizer.
A Lie subalgebra H is an ideal of any Lie subalgebra K containing H and contained in the
normalizer of H.
