Mirror Geometry of Lie Algebras, Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spacesby Lev V. Sabinin
Springer 2004; US$ 129.00This book describes a new and original formalism based on mirror symmetries of Lie groups, Lie algebras and Homogeneous spaces. Special systems of mirrors are used for classification purposes and as an instrument for studies of Homogeneous spaces. Tri-symmetric and arbitrary Riemannian Homogeneous spaces can also be researched in this way. The book should be of particular interest to researchers in Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, Differential Geometry and their applications but it should also prove useful for other postgraduate and advanced graduate students in mathematics. more...
Lie Algebras of Finite and Affine Typeby Roger Carter; B. Bollobas; W. Fulton; A. Katok; F. Kirwan; P. Sarnak; B. Simon
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 91.00Lie algebras have many varied applications, both in mathematics and mathematical physics. This book provides a thorough but relaxed mathematical treatment of the subject. Proofs are given in detail and the only prerequisite is a sound knowledge of linear algebra. A detailed Appendix is included. more...
Studies in Lie Theoryby Joseph Bernstein; Vladimir Hinich; Anna Melnikov
Springer 2006; US$ 132.00Dedicated to Anthony Joseph, this volume contains surveys and invited articles by leading specialists in representation theory. The focus here is on semisimple Lie algebras and quantum groups, where the impact of Joseph's work has been seminal and has changed the face of the subject. Two introductory biographical overviews of Joseph's contributions in classical representation theory (the theory of primitive ideals in semisimple Lie algebras) and quantized representation theory (the study of the quantized enveloping algebra) are followed by 16 research articles covering a number of varied and interesting topics in representation theory. more...
Lie Algebras and Algebraic Groupsby Patrice Tauvel; Rupert W.T. Yu
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 115.00The theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups has been an area of active research for the last 50 years. It intervenes in many different areas of mathematics: for example invariant theory, Poisson geometry, harmonic analysis, mathematical physics. The aim of this book is to assemble in a single volume the algebraic aspects of the theory, so as to present the foundations of the theory in characteristic zero. Detailed proofs are included and some recent results are discussed in the final chapters. All the prerequisites on commutative algebra and algebraic geometry are included. more...
Simple Lie Algebras over Fields of Positive Characteristicby Helmut Strade
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2004; US$ 99.95The problem of classifying the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over fields of characteristic p > 0 is a long-standing one. Work on this question during the last 35 years has been directed by the Kostrikin?Shafarevich Conjecture of 1966, which states that over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 5 a finite-dimensional restricted simple Lie algebra is classical or of Cartan type. This conjecture was proved for p > 7 by Block and Wilson in 1988. The generalization of the Kostrikin?Shafarevich Conjecture for the general case of not necessarily restricted Lie algebras and p > 7 was announced in 1991 by Strade and Wilson and eventually proved by Strade in 1998. The final Block?Wilson?Strade?Premet Classification Theorem is... more...
Lie Algebrasby W.A. de Graaf
Elsevier 2000; US$ 133.00The aim of the present work is two-fold. Firstly it aims at a giving an account of many existing algorithms for calculating with finite-dimensional Lie algebras. Secondly, the book provides an introduction into the theory of finite-dimensional Lie algebras. These two subject areas are intimately related. First of all, the algorithmic perspective often invites a different approach to the theoretical material than the one taken in various other monographs (e.g., [42], [48], [77], [86]). Indeed, on various occasions the knowledge of certain algorithms allows us to obtain a straightforward proof of theoretical results (we mention the proof of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem and the proof of Iwasawa's theorem as examples). Also proofs... more...
Automorphic Forms and Lie Superalgebrasby Urmie Ray
Springer 2006; US$ 129.00Provides the tools to understand the classification and construction project of Lie superalgebras. This book presents the material in simple terms and covers Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebras. It examines the link between the above class of Lie superalgebras and automorphic form and explains their construction from lattice vertex algebras. more...
Naive Lie Theoryby John Stillwell
Springer 2008; US$ 54.95Presents an introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. This book focuses on the so-called 'classical groups' that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. more...
