		This book is a pretty good introduction to the theory of Lie algebras and their representations, and its importance cannot be overstated, due to the myriads of applications of Lie algebras to physics, engineering, and computer graphics.
		The representation theory of Lie algebras is begun in this chapter, with proof of Weyl's theorem.
		This theorem is essentially a generalization to Lie algebras of a similar result from elementary linear algebra, namely the Jordan decomposition of matrices.

	Lie Groups and Lie Algebras (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Lie invented a lot of interesting methods to approach the problem of studying symmetries of differential equations, and eventually laid foundations to a Galois theory of differential equations: he proved that only a few equations can be solved by symbolic integration.
		Lie restricted the study of Lie algebras to two main classes: simple algebras and solvable algebras; the latter are the algebras connected to a differential equation which is solvable by symbolic integration; the former are the algebras emerging in geometric theories.
		Lie published a three-volume monumental (and labyrinthic) work: Theorie der transformationsgruppen (in part edited by his pupil Friedrich Engel [1861-1941]), which is to be considered one of the most important scientific books of the XIX century: it is a goldmine of ideas, not completely explored.

	Representation of a Lie group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A great deal is known about such representations, a basic tool in their study being the use of the corresponding 'infinitesimal' representations of Lie algebras (indeed in the physics literature the distinction is often elided).
		A representation of a Lie group G on a finite-dimensional complex vector space V is a smooth group homomorphism Ψ:G→Aut(V) from G to the automorphism group of V.
		A representation of a Lie group G on a complex Hilbert space V is a group homomorphism Ψ:G → B(V) from G to B(V), the group of bounded linear operators of V which have a bounded inverse, such that the map G x V → V given by (g,v) → Ψ(g) v is continuous.

	Pure Mathematics Research, Department of Mathematics, Univ. of Manchester, UK
		Research interests of the algebraists at Manchester University include Lie theory, representation theory and invariant theory of algebraic groups and related Lie algebras, representation theory of symmetric groups, $GL(n)$ and the Steenrod algebra, modular group algebras of finite $p$-groups, the unit group of the Steenrod algebra, and infinite dimensional representations of quivers and algebras.
		In modular representation theory of Lie algebras, irreducible representations of the $p$-Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group, having a subregular nilpotent $p$-character, are studied.
		Modular representation theory of Lie algebras is now a very active and attractive field due to deep interactions with representation theory of quantum groups at roots of unity and some very recent discoveries such as Premet's proof of the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture and Jantzen's work on subregular representations of $sl(n)$ and $so(2n+1)$.

	CCR AND THE m DIMENSIONAL HEISENBERG ALGEBRAS
		For a kinematic Heisenberg algebra H(m) of QM in m [3] dimensional space, usually given as (generally unbounded) operators CCR acting on a specifically constructed Hilbert space, there is, axiomatically, and more abstractly, a nilpotent Lie algebra of 2m+1 dimensions given by the defining Commutation Relations (CRs).
		In the case of the Heisenberg algebra, there is an interesting cross relationship within a q-p pair familiar from classical canonical mechanics stated as, momentum is the generator of spatial translations and position is the generator of momentum translations in the context of phase space.
		We have found a Lie algebra which contains H as an invariant subalgebra, and which is therefore an extension of H. The dimension of the algebra is reduced from 7 to 6, by the relation of linear dependence qp = pq + iI.

		In particular, a representation of Lie groups φ: G→GL(V) determines a homomorphism of Lie algebras from g to the Lie algebra of the general linear group GL(V) over the vector space V.
		More generally (since we can study Lie algebras independently from their incarnation as the tangent space of a Lie group), such a representation may be described as a bilinear map (x,v)→x.
		Equivalently, it is a representation of the universal enveloping algebra.

		This course will be an introduction to the classical theory of Lie algebras, one of the central fields of mid-twentieth-century algebra.
		As well as being intrinsically fascinating, Lie algebras have plentiful connections with such fields as differential geometry, representation theory, harmonic analysis, and mathematical physics, and the course should be a useful grounding for students wishing to explore any of these areas.
		We will also briefly examine the most important recent development in Lie algebras, the idea of quantization, which came from physics but has proved a powerful tool in answering purely algebraic questions.

		Representations of the universal cover of SL(2,R) can be realized as global sections of standard weakened Harish-Chandra sheaves on the flag variety of the group PSL(2,C).
		Here D is a naturally defined homogeneous sheaf of associative algebras which is locally isomorphic to the sheaf of local differential operators on the flag variety of PSL(2,C).
		All of these representations are tempered, but the set of global sections of the standard module I({0},0,1) is not a discrete series representation.

	Emergence of the Theory of Lie Groups by Thomas Hawkins [ISBN: 0387989633] - Find Cheap Textbook Prices & Save BIG
		Written by the recipient of the 1997 MAA Chauvenet Prize for mathematical exposition, this book tells how the theory of Lie groups emerged from a fascinating cross fertilization of many strains of 19th and early 20th century geometry, analysis, mathematical physics, algebra and topology.
		The first part describes the geometrical and analytical considerations that initiated the theory at the hands of the Norwegian mathematician, Sophus Lie.
		The main figure in the second part is Weierstrass' student Wilhelm Killing, whose interest in the foundations of non-Euclidean geometry led to his discovery of almost all the central concepts and theorems on the structure and classification of semisimple Lie algebras.
