[edit]Under the section Representation theory of , this sentence appears:
"Note that, here, the powers , etc. refer to powers as elements of the algebra U and not matrix powers."
I do not understand what kind of "powers" this refers to, since the only powers that I know of in a Lie algebra are brackets of an element with itself, and these are always 0. So it would be a good idea if someone knowledgeable about this subject explained what this means in the article. 2601:200:C000:1A0:A960:2026:2D93:BC3A (talk) 15:02, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
