by Marcos M. Alexandrino, Renato G. Bettiol
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 129
Description:
The main purpose of these lecture notes is to provide a concise introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and isometric and adjoint actions, aiming mostly at advanced undergraduate and graduate students. A special focus is given to maximal tori and roots of compact Lie groups, exploring its connection with isoparametric submanifolds and polar actions.

Introductory Treatise On Lie's Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groupsby John Edward Campbell - Oxford Clarendon Press
In this treatise an attempt is made to give, in as elementary a form as possible, the main outlines of Lie's theory of Continuous Groups. Even those familiar with the theory may find something new in the form in which the theory is here presented.
