Contents:

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

Summary: 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
