| | Lie group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If we require that the Lie group be simply connected, then the global structure is determined by its Lie algebra: for every finite dimensional Lie algebra g over F there is a unique (up to isomorphism) simply connected Lie group G with g as Lie algebra. |
 | | One classifies Lie groups regarding their algebraic properties (simple, semisimple, solvable, nilpotent, abelian), their connectedness (connected or simply connected) and their compactness. |
 | | connected, compact, for n≥ 2: not simply connected, for n=3 and n≥5: simple and semisimple |
