[\u003ci\u003eTheory of Lie Groups\u003c\/i\u003e] was the first systematic exposition of the foundations of Lie group theory consistently adopting the global viewpoint, based on the notion of analytic manifold. This book remained the basic reference on Lie groups for at least two decades. -- \u003ci\u003eBulletin of the American Mathematical Society \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eSuitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, this enduringly relevant text introduces the main basic principles that govern the theory of Lie groups. The treatment opens with an overview of the classical linear groups and of topological groups, focusing on the theory of covering spaces and groups, which is developed independently from the theory of paths. \u003cbr\u003eSucceeding chapters contain an examination of the theory of analytic manifolds as well as a combination of the notions of topological group and manifold that defines analytic and Lie groups. An exposition of the differential calculus of Cartan follows and concludes with an exploration of compact Lie groups and their representations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude Chevalley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486824535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486824536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Claude Chevalley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996768076031,"sku":"9780486824536","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e88c722-b1c2-4350-a74c-821211b18b91.jpg?v=1683343574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theory-of-lie-groups-claude-chevalley-9780486824536","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
