So it didn't recognize the equations and escaped all keywords with backslashes, hence even in compiled output the formula is displayed as text... Any ideas?Hmm well, I got it, by only pasting everything between \begin{align*}... \end{align*}, and then by manually making a multiline alighned formula out of it. Still would be better, if it would recognize the formula on its own or at least if it would not escape everything and simply keep the tex code.
If you copy everything and paste it directly into a document as text, then highlight it all and hit ctrl-M (or click Insert > Math > Inline Formula or, in this case at least, Insert > Math > Display Formula), LyX will convert it to something close to what is intended. The only flaw I see here is that there are a number of what I think are unnecessary braces retained. You might have to delete those manually.
