Lie Algebras: Introduction and Structure

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of Lie algebras, named after Sophus Lie, a Norwegian mathematician. Lie algebras are vector spaces with a Lie bracket operation satisfying the Jacobi identity. The lecture explores the relationship between Lie algebras and continuous groups of symmetries, leading to important discoveries in Lie groups and algebraic groups.
