Description

Book Synopsis

This introduction to the representation theory of compact Lie groups follows Herman Weyl’s original approach. It discusses all aspects of finite-dimensional Lie theory, consistently emphasizing the groups themselves. Thus, the presentation is more geometric and analytic than algebraic. It is a useful reference and a source of explicit computations. Each section contains a range of exercises, and 24 figures help illustrate geometric concepts.



Table of Contents
I Lie Groups and Lie Algebras.- II Elementary Representation Theory.- III Representative Functions.- IV The Maximal Torus of a Compact Lie Group.- V Root Systems.- VI Irreducible Characters and Weights.- Symbol Index.
