Exceptional Lie algebra

In mathematics, an exceptional Lie algebra is a complex simple Lie algebra whose Dynkin diagram is of exceptional (nonclassical) type. There are exactly five of them: ; their respective dimensions are 14, 52, 78, 133, 248. The corresponding diagrams are: * G2 : * F4 : * E6 : * E7 : * E8 : In contrast, simple Lie algebras that are not exceptional are called classical Lie algebras (there are infinitely many of them).

Lie groups: Lie groups and Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We discuss the relation between Lie groups and Lie algebras, and give several examples showing how they behave differently. Lie algebras turn out to correspond more closely to the simply connected Lie groups. We then explain

Lie groups: Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We define the Lie algebra of a Lie group in two ways, and show that it satisfied the Jacobi identity. The we calculate the Lie algebras of a few Lie groups. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.co

Axioms of Lie algebra theory

In this video I write down the axioms of Lie algebras and then discuss the defining anti-symmetric bilinear map (the Lie bracket) which is zero on the diagonal and fulfills the Jacobi identity. I'm following the compact book "Introduction to Lie Algebras" by Erdmann and Wildon. https://gi

The Lie-algebra of Quaternion algebras and their Lie-subalgebras

In this video we discuss the Lie-algebras of general quaternion algebras over general fields, especially as the Lie-algebra is naturally given for 2x2 representations. The video follows a longer video I previously did on quaternions, but this time I focus on the Lie-algebra operation. I st

Lie groups: Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We state the Poincare-Birkhoff Witt theorem, which shows that the universal enveloping algebra (UEA) of a Lie algebra is the same size as a polynomial algebra. We prove it for Lie algebras of Lie groups and sketch a proof of

Lie groups: Positive characteristic is weird

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We give several examples to show that, over fields of positive characteristic, Lie algebras can behave strangely, and have a weaker connection to Lie groups. In particular the Lie algebra does not generate the ring of all in

The Weyl algebra and the Heisenberg Lie algebra

In this video we give a simple teaser into the world of operator algebras. In particular, we talk about the Weyl algebra and compute some expressions that fulfill the property which defines the Heisenberg Lie algebra http://math.uchicago.edu/~may/REU2012/REUPapers/Lingle.pdf https://en.w
