If the Killing form of a Lie algebra is non-singular, it remains non-singular when restricted to a Cartan subalgebra.

((killingForm K L) x) y = 0

For any α and β, the corresponding root spaces are orthogonal with respect to the Killing form, provided α + β ≠ 0.

Elements of the α root space which are Killing-orthogonal to the root space are Killing-orthogonal to all of L.

x = 0

If a Lie algebra L has non-degenerate Killing form, the only element of a Cartan subalgebra whose adjoint action on L is nilpotent, is the zero element.

Over a perfect field a much stronger result is true, see LieAlgebra.IsKilling.isSemisimple_ad_of_mem_isCartanSubalgebra.

      This is Proposition 4.18 from [carter2005] except that we use LieModule.exists_forall_lie_eq_smul instead of Lie's theorem (and so avoid assuming K has characteristic zero).

      Given a splitting Cartan subalgebra H of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with non-singular Killing form, the corresponding roots span the dual space of H.

      The contrapositive of this result is very useful, taking x to be the element of H corresponding to a root α under the identification between H and H^* provided by the Killing form.
