	What IS a Lie Group?
		The An and Cn Lie Algebras are exceptional in the Landsberg-Manivel Projective Geometric Classification because the adjoint representation is not a fundamental representation for the An and Cn Lie Algebras.
		A Lie algebra is a logarithm of a Lie group, and a Lie group is an exponential of a Lie algebra.
		Therefore: the Spin(8) Lie algebra is the Lie algebra expansion of the imaginary octonion commutator algebra.

	CARTAN, &EACUTE;LIE JOSEPH. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The son of a village flsmith, he graduated from the École normale and taught at the universities of Montpellier, Lyons, Nancy, and finally Paris, where he was professor from 1912 to 1940.
		He developed powerful methods of attacking problems in fields related to modern topology, notably Lie groups, differential systems, and differential geometry; his discoveries are basic to mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
		His son, Henri Cartan, 1904–, is also a mathematician and one of the founding members of the Bourbaki group (see Bourbaki, Nicolas).

	Lie algebra
		A Lie algebra (pronounced as "lee", named in honor of Sophus Lie) is an algebraic structure in mathematics whose main use lies in studying geometric objects such as Lie groups and differentiable manifolds.
		A subalgebra of the Lie algebra g is a subspace[?] h of g such that [x, y] ∈ h for all x, y ∈ h.
		Lie algebras were originally introduced and studied by Sophus Lie and independently by Wilhelm Killing[?] starting in the 1870s for this reason.

	PlanetMath: Cartan Calculus
		A Lie superbracket is a generalization of a Lie bracket.
		Since the Cartan Calculus operators are closed under the Lie superbracket, the vector space spanned by the Cartan Calculus operators has the structure of a Lie superalgebra.
		This is version 1 of Cartan Calculus, born on 2005-11-30.

	Draft: Geometry and Lie Groups
		Lie groups are beautiful, important, and useful because they have one foot in each of the two great divisions of mathematics --- algebra and geometry.
		The properties of a Lie algebra are identified with the properties of the original Lie group in the neighborhood of the origin.
		A typical Lie algebra is a semidirect sum of a semisimple Lie algebra and a solvable subalgebra that is invariant.

	Springer Online Reference Works
		Lie algebras appeared in mathematics at the end of the 19th century in connection with the study of Lie groups (cf.
		The theory of Lie algebras for this case is in the process of being established, and in a curious way it reflects the features of two different classes of complex Lie algebras, finite-dimensional simple algebras and finite-dimensional transitive simple algebras corresponding to primitive Lie pseudo-groups (see [17],, [19]).
		Infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras are the subject of intensive research in which connections of these Lie algebras not only with classical geometrical questions but also with many other branches of mathematics have been discovered (see Lie algebra, graded, and also [17],, [22]).

	Search Results for Cartan
		Henri Cartan is the son of Elie Cartan and Marie-Louise Bianconi.
		Cartan published Les transformations analytiques des domaines cercles les uns dans les autres in 1930 and, since this paper contained generalisations of results proved by Heinrich Behnke, he was invited by Behnke to visit Germany in May 1931 and give a series of lectures at Munster in Westphalen where Behnke taught.
		Cartan had been invited to the United States in 1942 but he decided that he had to remain in France for the sake of his family, particularly his father who by this time was an old man.

	Cartan biography
		This was shown by Cartan in his thesis when he constructed each of the exceptional simple Lie algebras over the complex field.
		Cartan further contributed to geometry with his theory of symmetric spaces which have their origins in papers he wrote in 1926.
		Cartan's recognition as a first rate mathematician came to him only in his old age; before 1930 Poincaré and Weyl were probably the only prominent mathematicians who correctly assessed his uncommon powers and depth.

	Lie derivative
		Sophus Lie is noted for his contributions to the theories of differential equations and continuous transformation groups.
		Lie derivative is introduced in Bishop and Goldberg "Tensor Analysis on Manifolds" on p.
		The idea that Cartan's formula for the Lie derivative acting on forms yields the functional format for the Lorentz force as a component of the Lie derivative is mathematically correct.

	Infinite Lie pseudogroups
		Although he was optimistic Lie was unable to extend his infinitesimal structure theory to an infinitesimal structure theory of infinite parameter Lie pseudogroups.
		Cartan developed a structure theory of such infinite pseudogroups.
		Cartan's algorithm is then run on the model system subject to this differential characterization.

	biog Lie
		Lie had started examining partial differential equations, hoping that he could find a theory which was analogous to Galois' theory of equations.
		Killing was to examine Lie algebras quite independently of Lie, and Cartan was to publish the classification of semisimple Lie algebras in 1900.
		Lie returned to Kristiania in 1898 to take up a post specially created for him but his health was already deteriorating and he died soon after taking up the post, on February 18, 1899.

	Introduction
		Cartan's approach still puts the group concept at the center of the structure but it reintroduces an interplay between the local and the global, the internal and the external, a necessary interplay if one is to be able to treat "all" geometries.
		In particular, since groups are a special type of categories, many methods developed in the study of abstract groups, including Lie groups, have found and are finding a natural generalization for categories, in particular presentations and representations of categories.
		Categories, like transformation groups and Lie groups, are more or less the algebraic embodiement or coordination of our thinking about geometric structures and properties.

	Construction of Lie Algebras
		In a few cases the Lie algebra returned by this function is not simple; examples are the Lie algebras of type A_n over a field of characteristic p>0 where p divides n + 1, and the Lie algebras of type D_1 and D_2.
		The algebra H(m, n) is the Hamiltonianand CH(m, n) is the conformal Hamiltonian Lie algebra.
		Construct the contact Lie algebra K(m, n) over the finite field F of characteristic at least 3, where m >= 3 must be odd and n a sequence of positive integers of length m.

		The good thing about ladder operators (or the Cartan canonical form as the incrowd says) is that they offer a simple picture of the structure of a group.
		The other possible angles are coded by single, double, or triple bonds.) The basic idea is that these diagrams are convenient way to encode the geometry of the immediate neighborhood of any vertex in the root lattice, and therefore of the lattice as a whole.

	Lie's Structural Approach to PDE Systems - Cambridge University Press
		It is the first book to present substantial results on local solvability of general and, in particular, nonlinear PDE systems without using power series techniques.
		The book describes a general approach to systems of partial differential equations based on ideas developed by Lie, Cartan and Vessiot.
		These considerations naturally lead to local Lie groups, Lie pseudogroups and the equivalence problem, all of which are covered in detail.

	ENCICLOPEDIA ESPAÑOLA - Élie Cartan
		Élie Cartan (9 de abril 1869 - 6 de mayo 1951) fue un matemático Francés, quien hizo trabajos fundamentales en la teoría de grupos de Lie y sus usos geométricos.
		Cartan agregó la derivada exterior, como operación enteramente geométrica e independiente de las coordenadas.
		Con estos fundamentos - Grupos de Lie y formas diferenciales - produjo un cuerpo muy grande de trabajo, y también algunas técnicas generales por ejemplo marco móvil, que fueron incorporados gradualmente en la corriente principal de la matemática.

		In my second course on Lie groups, I finally met the machinery of semisimple Lie groups and Lie algebras: Cartan subalgebras, roots, weights, the Weyl group, the fundamental Weyl chamber, and all that.
		Most familiar examples of Lie groups, such as the special linear, orthogonal, and unitary groups, are of this sort.
		While there are many useful books on Lie group methods in physics, I believe that graduate students in physics might benefit from a book that treats the mathematical constructions in a more systematic way.

		The latter is an algebraic abstraction of the topological equivariant cohomology theory for G-spaces, where G is a compact Lie group.
		Cartan's theory, discovered in the 50s and further developed by others in the 90s, gave a de Rham model for the topological equivariant cohomology, the same way ordinary de Rham theory does for singular cohomology in a geometric setting.
		For every nonlocal vertex algebra V satisfying a suitable condition, we construct a canonical bialgebra B(V) such that primitive elements of B(V) are essentially pseudo derivations and group-like elements are essentially pseudo endomorphisms.

	EMS - European Mathematical Society Publishing House - Book Details
		This theory reduces the classification of irreducible real representations of a real Lie algebra to a description of the so-called self-conjugate irreducible complex representations of this algebra and to the calculation of an invariant of such a representation (with values +1 or -1) which is called the index.
		The book is aimed at students in Lie groups, Lie algebras and their representations, as well as researchers in any field where these theories are used.
		The reader is supposed to know the classical theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras and their finite dimensional representation; the main facts are presented without proofs in Section 1.

		Cartan and their contemporaries explicitly used infinitesimal real numbers, infinitesimal curves, etc. and Lie referred to methods based on infinitesimals as "synthetic" , as opposed to "analytic" (cf.
		In present day mathematics, based on set-theoretic foundations, such infinitesimal reals do not exist, and the synthetic methods cannot be made mathematically rigorous in a direct way.
		It is remarkable that in the context of synthetic differential geometry infinitesimal arguments such as those by Cartan literally make sense, and are mathematically rigorous.

	Cartan Subalgebra (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Given a Lie algebra L, return a Cartan subalgebra of L. The algorithm works for Lie algebras L defined over a field F such that F > dim L and for restricted Lie algebras of characteristic p.
		If the Lie algebra does not fit into one of these classes then the correctness of the output is not guaranteed.
		We compute a Cartan subalgebra of the simple Lie algebra of type A_4 over the rational field.

	Cartan's Magic formula: The Lie derivative (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In his book on Lecons sur les Invariant Integraux, Cartan introduces a combination of the exterior derivative and the interior product which (so I am told) was coined as the "Lie derivative" by Sledbodzinsky.
		The formula is also attributed to Cartan's son, Henri Cartan.
		Cartan's magic formula acting on a 1-form of Action, A, is thereby an abstract equivalent to the first law of thermodynamic processes:

		We will touch on Sophus Lie's symmetries of ordinary differential equations and his transitive Lie algebras of vector fields on low-dimensional spaces, Cartan's classification of simple finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras, the Guillemin-Sternberg-Blattner theory of realising Lie algebras by means of vector fields, and their version of Cartan's classification of the infinite-dimensional primitive Lie algebras.
		We study such Lie algebras where some pairs of generating elements are forced to commute and find cases where this construction produces the classical Lie algebras.
		The project is not finished yet, although we have shown that in many cases the point-line spaces of extremal elements in such Lie algebras are in fact isomorphic to shadow spaces of buildings of Dynkin type.

		The fundamental theorem of exterior calculus, due to Elie Cartan, says that int_(dR) s = int_R ds where dR is the boundary, a closed p-dimensional surface, of the (p+1)-dimensional surface R, where s is a p-form, and where ds is a (p+1)-form, obtained by applying the "exterior derivative" to s.
		A fundamental aspect of the theory of Lie groups is that every Lie group (a nonlinear creature, if you like) is almost completely determined by an associated object called its Lie algebra (a linear creature, if you like, and thus much easier to work with).
		IOW, the subspace generated by A in the Lie algebra is a linear approximation to the unipotent (one dimensional) subgroup generated by P; in fact, it is the Lie algebra of this one dimensional Lie group.
