Synopsis

Canonical forms of the four-dimensional complex Lie algebras are obtained by considering the roots of certain well-defined vectors of the algebras. A complete set of characters of the algebras is also given, enabling any given four-dimensional complex Lie algebra to be identified with one of the canonical forms.
