Lie Transformation Groups and Geometry
We present geometrical aspects of Lie groups and reductive homogeneous spaces, and some resent results on homogeneous geodesics and homogeneous Einstein metrics. The article is based on the four lectures given in Varna, June 2007.
متن کاملLectures on Shimura Curves 4.5: a Crash Course on Linear Algebraic Groups
It is an initially surprising fact how much of the geometry and arithmetic of Shimura varieties (e.g., moduli spaces of abelian varieties) is governed by the theory of linear algebraic groups. This is in some sense unfortunate, because the theory of algebraic groups (even over the complex numbers, and still more over a nonalgebraically closed field like Q) is rich and complicated, containing fo...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Lie Groups and Symplectic Geometry
A series of nine lectures on Lie groups and symplectic This is an unofficial version of the notes and was last modified on 19 February 2003. (Mainly to correct some very bad mistakes in Lecture 8 about Kähler and hyperKähler reduction that were pointed out to me by Eugene Lerman.) Please send any comments, corrections or bug reports to the above e-mail address. Introduction These are the lectur...
متن کاملInfinite Dimensional Lie Groups with Applications to Mathematical Physics
INTRODUCTION: Lie Groups play an important role in physical systems both as phase spaces and as symmetry groups. Infinite dimensional Lie groups occur in the study of dynamical systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom such as PDEs and in field theories. For such infinite dimensional dynamical systems diffeomorphism groups and various extensions and variations thereof, such as gauge...
متن کاملFive lectures on lattices in semisimple Lie groups
This text is an introduction to lattices in semisimple Lie groups, in five independent lectures. It was given during the first week of the 2004 Summer School at the Fourier Institute in Grenoble. We hope that it will attract young students to this topic and convince them to read some of the many textbooks cited in the references. We illustrate five important methods of this subject: geometry, a...
