Toral subalgebra

In mathematics, a toral subalgebra is a Lie subalgebra of a general linear Lie algebra all of whose elements are semisimple (or diagonalizable over an algebraically closed field). Over an algebraically closed field, every toral Lie algebra is abelian; thus, its elements are simultaneously diagonalizable.
