Fundamentally, mathematicians wanted to solve equations, which is a rather broad statement, but it motivates things like the Fermat's Last Theorem – solving x3 􀀀 y3 􀀐 z3. Galois theory begins with wanting to solve equations. One of Galois's fundamental ideas was to not try to write a solution but to study the symmetries of the equations.  \nSophus Lie was motivated by this to do the same with differential equations. Could you say something about the symmetries of the solutions? This technique is used a lot in physics. This led him to the study of Lie groups, and subsequently, Lie algebras.  \nExample 1.1. The prototypical Lie group is the circle.  \nA Lie group G is, fundamentally, a group with a smooth structure on it. The group has some identity e P G. Multiplying e by a P G moves it the corresponding point around the manifold. Importantly, if the group isn't abelian, then aba􀀁1b 􀀁1 is not the identity. We call this the commutator ra, bs. Letting a, b tend to zero, we get tangent vectors X, Y and a commutator rX, Ys by letting ra, bs tend to 0 . These points of the tangent space are elements of the Lie algebra.  \nWe'l make this all precise later. We'll classify the simple Lie algebras, which ends up using the fundamental objects called root systems. Root systems are so fundamental to math that this course might better be described as an introduction to root systems by way of Lie algebras.  \nDefinition 1.2. Let k be a field. A Lie algebra g is a vector space over k with abilinear bracket r􀀁 , 􀀁s : g 􀀂 g Ñ g satisfying  \n(i) Antisymmetry rX, Xs 􀀐 0, for all X P g;  \n(ii) Jacobi identity rX, rY, Zss 􀀀 rY, rZ, Xss 􀀀 rZ, rX, Yss 􀀐 0.  \nThe Jacobi Identity is probably easier to think of as  \nrX, rY, Zss 􀀐 rrX, Ys, Zs 􀀀 rY, rX, Zss. Bracketing with X satisfies the chain rule! Actually rX, 􀀁s is a derivation.  \nDefinition 1.3. A derivation d of an algebra A is an endomorphism A Ñ A that satisfies dpabq 􀀐 adpbq 􀀀 dpaqb.  \nRemark 1.4. From now on, our Lie algebras g will","cbCaiuvgcY5j8T9L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuvgcY5j8T9L","pdf",411708,69,"English","# Contents\n## Introduction\n## Lie Groups\n## Representations of slp2q\n## Major Results on Lie Algebras\n## Representations of Semisimple Lie Algebras\n## Classification of Complex Semisimple Lie Algebras\n## Contents by Lecture\n## Lecture 1\n## Lecture 2\n## Lecture 3\n## Lecture 4\n## Lecture 5\n## Lecture 6\n## Lecture 7\n## Lecture 8\n## Lecture 9\n## Lecture 10\n## Lecture 11\n## Lecture 12\n## Lecture 13\n## Lecture 14\n## Lecture 15\n## Lecture 16\n## Lecture 17\n## Lecture 18\n## Lecture 19\n## Lecture 20\n## Lecture 21\n## Lecture 22\n## Lecture 23","[{\"question\":\"What motivates the study of Lie algebras in these notes?\",\"answer\":\"The notes explain that mathematicians sought solutions to equations by studying symmetries, starting from ideas in Galois theory.
