In this paper we introduce a general axiomatic framework for algebras with triangular decomposition, which allows for a systematic study of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand Category O. Our axiomatic framework can be stated via three relatively simple axioms, and it encompasses a very large class of algebras studied in the literature. We term the algebras satisfying our axioms as regular triangular...
