Update: Much of the Lie theory course (1-9) is now also available as a PDF text. Arguably it is better written than the articles below.
Archived
- Introduction to Lie groups
- Lie Bracket, closure under the Lie Bracket
- Derivations and the Jacobi identity
- Lie group homomorphisms
- Exponential map: injectivity and surjectivity, diffeo, examples of differential correspondence (exp, Taylor, derivations, adjoint), continuous maps are smooth [1], Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff
- Lie group topology
- Lie correspondence (exercise: determinant unique)
- The Killing form; factorising non-Abelian Lie groups
- Some applications (parallel parking, indefinite Orthogonal group, some isomorphisms, some connected and compact proofs, odd-dimensional spheres, covers and quaternions)
- Abstract Lie algebra, representation theory [3]
- Lie derivatives, relations to differential geometry [4]
- Lie Geometry -- [5]; exponential surjective when compact
