Semi Simple Lie Algebras and Their Representations
The present volume is intended to meet the need of particle physicists
for a book which is accessible to non-mathematicians. The focus is on the
semi-simple Lie algebras, and especially on their representations since it is
they, and not just the algebras themselves, which are of greatest interest to
the physicist. Topics covered includes:The Killing Form, The Structure of Simple
Lie Algebras, A Little about Representations, Structure of Simple Lie Algebras,
Simple Roots and the Cartan Matrix, The Classical Lie Algebras, The Exceptional
Lie Algebras, Casimir Operators and Freudenthal’s Formula, The Weyl Group,
Weyl’s Dimension Formula, Reducing Product Representations, Subalgebras and
Branching Rules.
This note focus on
the so-called matrix Lie groups since this allows us to cover the most common
examples of Lie groups in the most direct manner and with the minimum amount of
background knowledge. Topics covered includes: Matrix Lie groups, Topology of
Lie groups, Maximal tori and centres, Lie algebras and the exponential map,
Covering groups.
In these lectures we will
start from the beginning the theory of Lie algebras and their representations.
Topics covered includes: General properties of Lie algebras, Jordan-Chevalley
decomposition, semisimple Lie algebras, Classification of complex semisimple Lie
algebras, Cartan subalgebras, classification of connected Coxeter graphs and
complex semisimple Lie algebras, Poicare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem.
This book covers the following topics: Lie Groups:Basic
Definitions, Lie algebras, Representations of Lie Groups and Lie
Algebras, Structure Theory of Lie Algebras, Complex Semisimple Lie Algebras,
Root Systems, Representations of Semisimple Lie Algebras, Root Systems and
Simple Lie Algebras.

This note covers the following
topics: Ideals and homomorphism, Nilpotent and solvable Lie algebras , Jordan
decomposition and Cartan's criterion, Semisimple Lie algebras and the Killing
form, Abstract root systems, Weyl group and Weyl chambers, Classification of
semisimple Lie algebras , Exceptional Lie algebras and automorphisms,

This is an open source book written by Francisco Bulnes. The purpose of this book is to present a complete course on global
analysis topics and establish some orbital applications of the integration on
topological groups and their algebras to harmonic analysis and induced
representations in representation theory.
This note covers the
following topics: Matrix and Lie Groups, Dynamics and Control on Matrix Groups,
Optimality and Riccati Equations, Geometric Control.
This note covers the following topics: The Campbell Baker Hausdorff Formula, sl(2) and its Representations, classical
simple algebra, Engel-Lie-Cartan-Weyl, Conjugacy of Cartan sub algebras,
simple finite dimensional algebras, Cyclic highest weight modules, Serre’s
theorem, Clifford algebras and spin representations, The Kostant Dirac
operator.
This book presents a simple straightforward introduction, for the
general mathematical reader, to the theory of Lie algebras, specifically to
the structure and the (finite dimensional) representations of the semisimple
Lie algebras.
The course note really was designed to be
an introduction, aimed at an audience of students who were familiar with basic
constructions in differential topology and rudimentary differential geometry,
who wanted to get a feel for Lie groups and symplectic geometry.
