Commutator Algebra

144 Views Asked by At

Lets say that we know the value of the commutators [A,B] and [A,C]. Is there any way so that we can calculate value of commutator [B,C]? I looked up various sources for commutator identities, but somehow all of them fail to solve this.

If $A$ is in the centre of the group/Lie algebra (I don't know what the context is), then the first two commutators are trivial, while the third can be anything.
