内容简介

In this excellent introduction to the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, three of the leading figures in this area have written up their lectures from an LMS/SERC sponsored short course in 1993. Together these lectures provide an elementary account of the theory that is unsurpassed. In the first part Roger Carter concentrates on Lie algebras and root systems. In the second Graeme Segal discusses Lie groups. And in the final part, Ian Macdonald gives an introduction to special linear groups. Anybody requiring an introduction to the theory of Lie groups and their applications should look no further than this book.

G.B.S

This book is an introduction to the subject of Lie groups and Lie algebras. This is a general overview on the subject for students with no background on the subject. There are almost no proofs and this is not a text book. Nevertheless for the mature reader (say someone toward the end of his graduate studies) this is an amazing general introduction. It is clear that a lot of effort was used in order to give the reader as much knowledge as possible with minimal technical details as possible. Intuitive arguments are used when ever possible and motivation is there all along the way. The writing is very elegant and it is clear that the writers are masters in their field. So, if you want an overview on the subject and you do not need to go into technical details look no further then this book.
