Introduction to Lie Groups
18.755 · Mathematics · Graduate · Fall 2004
Prof. Sigurdur Helgason
<p>This course is devoted to the theory of Lie Groups with emphasis on its connections with Differential Geometry. The text for this class is <em>Differential Geometry, Lie Groups and Symmetric Spaces</em> by Sigurdur Helgason (American Mathematical Society, 2001).</p> <p>Much of the course material is based on Chapter I (first half) and Chapter II of the text. The text however develops basic Riemannian Geometry, Complex Manifolds, as well as a detailed theory of Semisimple Lie G…
