Description
Theory of Lie Groups by Claude Chevalley This foundational text in mathematics provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of Lie groups, a subject that has had a profound impact on various branches of mathematics and beyond. First published as a reference for over two decades, this enduringly relevant work remains an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. The book begins with an overview of classical linear groups and topological groups, before delving into the theory of covering spaces and groups, and the differential calculus of Cartan. It concludes by exploring compact Lie groups and their representations, providing a thorough understanding of the subject's core principles.
