Idea

The exceptional Lie algebras are the exceptional structures among the simple Lie algebras:

The classification of the simple Lie algebras consists of a few infinite series together with a finite number of examples, called exceptional Lie algebras. The simple Lie groups that these correspond to are the exceptional Lie groups, see there for more.
