It can be checked that for any three elements of the Lie algebra, the Jacobi identity is satisfied [X1,[X2,X3]]+[X2,[X3,X1]]+[X3,[X1,X2]]=0.
Vector analysis

The third identity shows that we must be careful to put in parentheses when we take a triple cross product. Comment: Proving these identities requires little computation. Take advantage of linearity to prove the first identity. Then use the first to prove the second, and use the second to prove the third. The second identity is called the Jacobi identity; its generalization to arbitrary Lie algebras is of fundamental significance in both mathematics and physics.

Symplectic structures are quintessential in Hamiltonian mechanics. Poisson structures are more general, allowing a type of degeneracy that encodes conserved quantities other than energy. For details we refer to [52,53]. Definition 2.1 (Poisson structure). Let be a state manifold. Let be arbitrary smooth functions (observables) on . A Poisson structure on is a bilinear and antisymmetric map called Poisson bracket, which fulfils the Jacobi identity and the Leibniz rule .

An n-dimensional Lie algebra over a field K is an n-dimensional vector space over K endowed with a second inner law, named bracket product, which is bilinear and anti-commutative and which satisfies the Jacobi identity
