Split Lie algebra

In the mathematical field of Lie theory, a split Lie algebra is a pair where
is a Lie algebra and
is a splitting Cartan subalgebra, where "splitting" means that for all
,
is triangularizable. If a Lie algebra admits a splitting, it is called a splittable Lie algebra. Note that for reductive Lie algebras, the Cartan subalgebra is required to contain the center.
