How to get the special capitalized headings

Question

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I did some searching and could not find an answer as it is hard to word the question without providing a picture. MWE

I was wondering how the author got the text to look like that under 1. INTRODUCTION, and 2. UNIVERSAL ENVELOPING ALGEBRAS?

Welcome to TeX.SX! The words you should search for are "small caps" and "headings". Take a look here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/52998, http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/83001 — LaRiFaRi, Dec 07 '14 at 23:26
Use titlessec and the block style for sections. Details in the documentation. — Bernard, Dec 07 '14 at 23:29

centred caps and small caps headings, look like amsart class to me.

\documentclass{amsart}
\begin{document}
 \section{Introduction}
\end{document}

Is there any way to get it without using amsart? I would prefer not to change my enter document class. – MathMajor Dec 07 '14 at 23:43

@GabrielH yes of course see the links in the first comment which are various ways of customizing headings, I just posted this simple version as the image looks like amsart to me, and if you wanted that it's easier to specify amsart than something else that has to be customised. – David Carlisle Dec 07 '14 at 23:50

With sectsty, another way.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\centering\normalfont\scshape}
%\allsectionsfont{\centering\normalfont\scshape}  % for all sectional levels
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
    \section{Introducton}
    \lipsum[1]
    \section{Another Section}
    \lipsum[2]
\end{document}

A solution that uses all the tools of titlesec:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[textwidth=140mm, textheight=213mm, marginratio={4:6,5:7}]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb}
\DeclareMathOperator\GL{\mathfrak{gl}}
\DeclareMathOperator\chr{char}
\usepackage[noindentafter]{titlesec}

\titleformat{\section}[block]{\filcenter\scshape}{\thesection.}{0.5em}{}
\titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{2\baselineskip}{1\baselineskip}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}

Let $ L $ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over the field $ F $. By a finite-dimensional representation, we mean a Lie algebra homomorphism $ φ \colon L → \GL(V)$ for some vector space $ V $ with $ \dim V < ∞ $. When $ φ $ is injective, $ φ $ is said to be a \emph{faithful} representation. If $ L $ has a faithful representation, then we can view elements of $ L$ as matrices with entries in $ F $. It is natural to ask whether every finite dimensional Lie algebra can be concretely realized in this way. Ado [1] gave an affirmative answer when $ \chr(F) = 0$. The result was extended by Iwasawa [2] to cover the case $ \chr(F) = p $ for prime $ p $. We follow Fulton and Harris [3] to give the proof for the case $ \chr(F) = 0 $.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont}{\thesection}{1em}{\centering\textsc{#1}}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
    \section{Introducton}
    \lipsum[1]
    \section{Another Section}
    \lipsum[2]
\end{document}
