Exceptional Lie groups
Now, in the present book, we describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups G2, F4, E6, E7, E8, in very elementary way. The contents are given as follows. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms σ of G, and determine the group structures of the fixed points subgroup G by σ. Note that they co...
متن کاملHomotopy Lie Groups
Homotopy Lie groups, recently invented by W.G. Dwyer and C.W. Wilkerson [13], represent the culmination of a long evolution. The basic philosophy behind the process was formulated almost 25 years ago by Rector [32, 33] in his vision of a homotopy theoretic incarnation of Lie group theory. What was then technically impossible has now become feasible thanks to modern advances such as Miller’s pro...
متن کاملHomotopy Theory of Classifying Spaces of Compact Lie Groups
The basic problem of homotopy theory is to classify spaces and maps between spaces, up to homotopy, by means of invariants like cohomology. In the last decade some striking progress has been made with this problem when the spaces involved are classifying spaces of compact Lie groups. For example, it has been shown, for G connected and simple, that if two self maps of BG agree in rational cohomo...
متن کاملHomotopy Groups of Compact Abelian Groups
Preliminaries. Bn (resp. 5„_i) will denote the subset of Rn consisting of those x such that ||x|| g 1 (resp. ¡|x|| = 1). x0 will denote the point (1, 0, 0, •• -, 0) of R" and T will denote Si made into a topological group by using complex multiplication. All groups will be assumed to be Abelian. For a based topological space X and a topological group G, let C(X, G) denote the set of maps (i.e.,...
متن کاملCompact Lie Groups
The first half of the paper presents the basic definitions and results necessary for investigating Lie groups. The primary examples come from the matrix groups. The second half deals with representation theory of groups, particularly compact groups. The end result is the Peter-Weyl theorem.
