5. What IS A Lie Group? An example of a solvable Lie group is the nilpotent Lie group that can be formed from the nilpotent lie algebra of upper triangular NxN real matrices. http://www.innerx.net/personal/tsmith/Lie.html

Tony Smith's Home Page What IS a Lie Group? Thanks to John Baez and Dave Rusin for pointing out that this page is a non-rigorous, non-technical attempt at answering the question ONLY for compact real forms of complex simple Lie groups, such as groups of rotations acting on spheres, for which a complete classification is known. There are a lot of Lie groups that are NOT compact real forms of complex simple Lie groups. For instance, the real line with the action of translation is a non-compact Lie group, and solvable Lie groups are certainly not simple groups. An example of a solvable Lie group is the nilpotent Lie group that can be formed from the nilpotent Lie algebra of upper triangular NxN real matrices. So, when you read this page, be SURE to realize that when I say "Lie group", that is my shorthand for "compact real form of a complex simple Lie group", and similar shorthand is being used when I say " Lie algebra As it will turn out that the Lie groups I will discuss are closely related to the division algebras, I will note that you can find a lot about the division algebras on Dave Rusin's division algebra fact page At the end of this page, some miscellaneous related matters are discussed:

8. Lie Algebras A lie algebra L, is a vector space over some field together with a bilinear multiplication ,LxL L, called the bracket, which satisfies two simple http://it.stlawu.edu/~dmelvill/17b/Laintro.html

Lie algebras A Lie algebra L , is a vector space over some field together with a bilinear multiplication [,]:LxL>L, called the bracket, which satisfies two simple properties: [x,y] = -[y,x] (Anticommutativity) [x[y,z]] = [[x,y],z] + [x,[y,z]] (Jacobi identity). The Jacobi identity says that the adjoint action is a derivation. It turns out that this simple formal definition gives you a vast range of interesting algebras. For example, any associative algebra can be given a Lie structure by defining [x,y] = xy - yx, where we denote the associtive multiplication by juxtaposition. The Lie bracket is then called the commutator and measures how non-commutative your algebra is. The finite-dimensional simple (i.e., no ideals) Lie algebras over the complex numbers are well-understood. The canonical reference for their structure, classification and representation theory is the book by Humphreys . Over algebraically-closed fields of characteristic p , a huge amount of work has gone into showing that there are no surprises. I don't know of any good expository overviews. When you start to consider infinite-dimensional (simple) Lie algebras (over C), life becomes much more interesting. Firstly, there are the Cartan algebras, which are Lie algebras of vector fields on finite-dimensional manifolds. These algebras have finite-dimensional analogues in characteristic

SIMPLE LIE ALGEBRAS: ORIGIN OF THEIR DENOTATIONS Johan E. Mebius January 2001 URL of this page is http://www.xs4all.nl/~plast/Lie-denotations.htm This note is based on the two books [1] and [2] on the history of Lie groups and Lie algebras. During the period 1878-1891 Killing studied space forms ( Raumformen ) and space transformation groups ( Lie'sche Transformationsgruppen ). Part of this study was a classification of all finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. By and large the story is as follows: Killing began his studies with the special linear and special orthogonal point transformation groups. For some reason he overlooked the projective line transformation groups of linear line complexes. (In my opinion just because they are not point transformation groups.) Following this path he came to three infinite series of Lie algebras, corresponding to the special linear groups and the special orthogonal groups of odd and even orders. He applied algebraic means, in the process defining root systems and the concept of semi-simplicity, and finding the decomposition of semi-simple Lie algebras into simple ones. At a later time Kiling started a classification of simple Lie algebras according to increasing rank. Rank one only comprises the algebras sl(2), so(3), sp(1).
