We provide the analytic expressions of the totally symmetric and anti-symmetric structure constants in the $mathfrak{su}(N)$ Lie algebra. The derivation is based on a relation linking the index of a generator to the indexes of its non-null elements. The closed formulas obtained to compute the values of the structure constants are simple expressions involving those indexes and can be analytically evaluated without any need of the expression of the generators. We hope that these expressions can be widely used for analytical and computational interest in Physics.

The orbits of Weyl groups W(A(n)) of simple A(n) type Lie algebras are reduced to the union of orbits of the Weyl groups of maximal reductive subalgebras of A(n). Matrices transforming points of the orbits of W(An) into points of subalgebra orbits are listed for all cases n<=8 and for the infinite series of algebra-subalgebra pairs A(n) - A(n-k-1) x A(k) x U(1), A(2n) - B(n), A(2n-1) - C(n), A(2n-1) - D(n). Numerous special cases and examples are shown.

An algebraic structure, Quotient Algebra Partition or QAP, is introduced in a serial of articles. The structure QAP is universal to Lie Algebras and enables algorithmic and exhaustive Cartan decompositions. The first episode draws the simplest form of the structure in terms of the spinor representation.
Else from the quotient algebra partition considered in the preceding episodes, two kinds of partitions on unitary Lie algebras are created by nonabelian bi-subalgebras. It is of interest that there exists a partition duality between the two kinds of partitions. With an application of an appropriate coset rule, the two partitions return to a quotient algebra partition when the generating bi-subalgebra is abelian. Procedures are proposed to merge or detach a co-quotient algebra, which help deliver type-AIII Cartan decompositions of more varieties. In addition, every Cartan decomposition is obtainable from the quotient algebra partition of the highest rank. Of significance is the universality of the quotient algebra partition to classical and exceptional Lie algebras.
In the 3rd episode of the serial exposition, quotient algebra partitions of rank zero earlier introduced undergo further partitions generated by bi-subalgebras of higher ranks. The refin

This is the sequel exposition following [1]. The framework quotient algebra partition is rephrased in the language of the s-representation. Thanks to this language, a quotient algebra partition of the simplest form is established under a minimum number of conditions governed by a bi-subalgebra of rank zero, i.e., a Cartan subalgebra. Within the framework, all Cartan subalgebras of su(N) are classified and generated recursively through the process of the subalgebra extension.
