6 days ago · Lie algebras are closely related to Lie groups, which are groups that are also smooth manifolds: every Lie group gives rise to a Lie algebra, which is the tangent space at the identity. (In this case, the Lie bracket measures the failure of commutativity for the Lie group.)
Jun 25, 2024 · A Lie group is a smooth manifold whose underlying set of elements is equipped with the structure of a group such that the group multiplication and inverse -assigning functions are smooth functions. In other words, a Lie group is a group object internal to the category SmthMfd of smooth manifolds.
Jun 27, 2024 · This course provides an introduction to Lie groups (the general object responsible for smooth symmetries) and Lie algebras (their infinitesimal counterpart). A particular focus will be on compact Lie groups, including a discussion of their structure theory and classification.
Jun 24, 2024 · The group of all proper and improper rotations in n dimensions is called the orthogonal group O(n), and the subgroup of proper rotations is called the special orthogonal group SO(n), which is a Lie group of dimension n(n − 1)/2.
2 days ago · e. In mathematics, a root system is a configuration of vectors in a Euclidean space satisfying certain geometrical properties. The concept is fundamental in the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, especially the classification and representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras.
Jun 22, 2024 · Theorem 8.37: Let $G$ be a (finite-dimension) Lie Group. The evaluation map $\varepsilon : Lie(G) \rightarrow T_e G$ , given by $\varepsilon(X) = X_e$ , is a vector space isomorphism. Thus, $Lie(G)$ is finite-dimensional, with dimension equal to $\mathrm{dim}(G)$ .

Jun 25, 2024 · If x and y are infinitesimally close points, defining a tangent vector, then θ(x, y) is an element of the Lie algebra of G. So θ restricted to infinitesimally close points is a 𝔤 -valued 1-form, and this is the Maurer-Cartan form.
