Description for Essays in the History of Lie Groups and Algebraic Groups (History of Mathematics, V. 21)
Hardcover. Lie groups and algebraic groups are important in many major areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. We find them in diverse roles, notably as groups of automorphisms of geometric structures, as symmetries of differential systems, or as basic tools in the theory of automorphic forms. This book looks at their development. Series: History of Mathematics. Num Pages: 184 pages, indexes, photographs. BIC Classification: PBB; PBG; PBK; PBMP; PBPD; PDX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 261 x 184 x 16. Weight in Grams: 570.
Algebraic groups and Lie groups are important in most major areas of mathematics, occuring in diverse roles such as the symmetries of differential equations and as central figures in the Langlands program for number theory. In this book, Professor Borel looks at the development of the theory of Lie groups and algebraic groups, highlighting the evolution from the almost purely local theory at the start to the global theory that we know today. As the starting point of this passage from local to global, the author takes Lie's theory of local analytic transformation groups and Lie algebras. He then follows ... Read more
