Abstract: By the definition of $\mathrm{Leibniz}$ algebra, we showed that \ $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}$\ was a $\mathrm{Leibniz}$\ algebra when \ $\mathcal{G}$\ was a $ \mathrm{Lie}$ algebra. We also proved that $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}$\ and $\mathcal{G}$\ have the same dimension of invariant symmetric bilinear forms in a special case, and the dimension of the derivation algebra of\ $\mathcal{G}$\ is always less than that of $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}$. $\mathcal{G}\boxtimes\mathcal{G}$\ is one of the important \ $\mathrm{Lie}$\ algebra induced by $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}$, and $\mathcal{G}\boxtimes\mathcal{G}$\ is isomorphic to $\mathcal{G}$\ when $\mathcal{G}$\ is a finite dimensional semi-simple\ $\mathrm{Lie}$\ algebra.

Key words: Leibniz algebra, invariant symmetric bilinear form, tensor product, derivation
