Topic: Simple Lie group

	Talk:Simple Lie group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The duplicated material on simple Lie algebras should be edited out, and a proper account given (of the compact simple Lie groups first).
		Secondly the Lie algebra only determines uniquely the simply connected (universal) cover G* of the component containing the identity of a Lie group G. It may well happen that G* isn't actually a simple group, for example having a non-trivial center.
		This means that in general a simple Lie group G is not simple in the group sense, since it may have discrete normal subgroups corresponding to other Lie groups covered by G. See e.g.

		A Lie group is a group endowed with a compatible analytic structure.
		Thus, a homomorphism in the category of Lie groups is a group homomorphism that is simultaneously an analytic mapping between two real-analytic manifolds.
		The name ``Lie group'' honours the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie who pioneered and developed the theory of continuous transformation groups and the corresponding theory of Lie algebras of vector fields (the group's infinitesimal generators, as Lie termed them).

		A Lie algebra is called simple if it has no proper ideals and is not abelian.
		Simple and semi-simple Lie algebras are one of the most widely studied classes of algebras for a number of reasons.
		This is version 4 of simple and semi-simple Lie algebras, born on 2002-12-04, modified 2004-03-27.

		For starters, each complex simple Lie group G is the symmetries of a kind of generalized projective geometry called an "incidence geometry".
		First, every complex simple Lie group G has a bunch of maximal compact subgroups, all of which are isomorphic via conjugation inside G. People often pick one, call it "the" maximal compact subgroup, and denote it by K.
		The Lie algebra of B consists of all matrices of the form * * * * 0 * * * 0 0 * * 0 0 0 * where the diagonal entries sum to zero.

	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.

		They proved that, associated to the quantized enveloping algebra of any simple Lie group at a primitive prime root of unity, there is a semisimple monoidal category with finite number of simple objects.
		This representation theory is very similar to the one of the corresponding Lie algebra in the sense that any integrable module is a direct sum of simple ones, and the simple modules have the same character formula as the ones of the Lie algebra of the same highest weight.
		The first step in these algorithms is the generation of the simple modules, in particular, the L-S bases for these modules, the action of the algebra generators on them, and the duality morphisms.

		The Weyl group is generated by reflections through the lines bisecting pairs of opposite sides of the hexagon; it is the dihedral group of order 6.
		These are permuted by the action of the Weyl group, and it is a theorem that this action is simply transitive.
		If G is a semisimple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field (more generally a split group), and T is a maximal torus, the normalizer N of T contains T as a subgroup of finite index, and the Weyl group W of G is isomorphic to N/T.

		Each v1-periodic homotopy group of X is a direct summand of some actual homotopy group of X. In 1989, Mimura suggested to the author that the computation of v-11ß(X; p) for all compact simple* Lie groups X and all primes p would be an interesting projec* *t.

		A Lie 2-algebra is a categorified version of a Lie algebra where the Jacobi identity holds up to a natural isomorphism called the "Jacobiator".
		Similarly, a Lie 2-group is a categorified version of a Lie group.
		The objects of this 2-group are based paths in G, while the automorphisms of any object form the level-k Kac Moody central extension of the loop group of G. The nerve of this 2-group gives a topological group that is an extension of G by the Eilenberg-MacLane space K(Z,2).

		The most extreme of these are, respectively, the most discrete series (in the group case called fundamental series) corresponding to the conjugacy class of Cartan subspaces with maximal compact part and the most continuous series, corresponding to the conjugacy class with maximal non-compact part.
		In the study of real reductive Lie groups and their representations the Riemannian symmetric spaces play an essential role.
		Most of the structure of this real Lie group and the associated Riemannian space can be derived from the structure of the complex group with the involution (for more details see [2]).

		The group of homotopy equivalences of products of spheres and of Lie groups Martin Arkowitz and Jeffrey Strom Abstract We investigate the group E# (X) of self homotopy equivalences of a space X which induce the identity homomorphism on all homotopy groups.
		The group E# (X) is a natural subgroup of the group E(X) of all self homotopy equivalences of X. There are essentially two types of results on E(X) and E# (X* ): (1) properties of these groups* for large classes of spaces, and (2) detailed calcul* ations of the group* structure for specific spaces.
		In this section we determine the structu* re of the abelian group* Z# (P) in terms of the homotopy groups of spheres.
