Introduction to Lie Groups, Adjoint Action and Some Generalizations
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.
