  • Lie algebra, homomorphisms of Lie algebra.
  • Left-invariant vector fields on Lie groups, Lie algebra of a Lie group, one-parametric subgroups of a Lie group, exponential map.
  • Correspondence between homomorphisms of Lie groups and homomorphisms of Lie algebras.
  • Basic facts on representations of Lie groups and algberas (restrictions of representations, factor-representation, contragredient representation, sum and tensor product of representations, intertwining maps, isomorphism of representations).
  • Irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras (classification of representations of sl(2,C), Cartan subalgebras, roots, positive roots, simple roots, weights, weight lattice, Weyl chambers, dominant weights, fundamental weights).
  • Classification of irreducible representations of four classical series, construction of fundamental representations, spinor representations.
  • Dynkin diagrams, classification of complex simple Lie algebras.
