1 This GAP package contains a variety of functions for working with Lie
2 algebras obtained from associative algebras by using the "bracket"
5 In case the associative algebra has been constructed using the
6 GroupRing function, the package uses fast methods that take advantage
7 of known special properties of group algebras. Some of the functions
8 provided are LieCentre, LieDerivedSubalgebra, IsLieAbelian,
9 IsLieSolvable, IsLieNilpotent and variations on these.
11 There are also functions for maintaining contact with the original
12 associative ring and with the underlying group in case the algebra is
