Lectures on Lie groups / W Y Hsiang. - Singapore : World Scientific, c2000. - v, 108 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. - Series on university mathematics ; vol. 2 .

Lecture 1 Linear Groups and Linear Representations Lecture 2 Lie Groups Lie Algebras Lecture 3 Orbital Geometry of the Adjoint Action Lecture 4 Coxter Groups, Weyl Reduction and Weyl Formulas Lecture 5 Structural Theory of Compact Lie Algebras Lecture 6 Classification Theory of Compact Lie Algebras and Compact Connected Lie Groups

This invaluable book provides a concise and systematic introduction to the theory of compact connected Lie groups and their representations, as well as a complete presentation of the structure and classification theory. It uses a non-traditional approach and organization. There is a proper balance between, and a natural combination of, the algebraic and geometric aspects of Lie theory, not only in technical proofs but also in conceptual viewpoints
