A socialist from an early age, Lie once met Vladimir Lenin while on a Labour Party visit to Moscow and gave permission for Leon Trotsky to settle in Norway after he was exiled from the Soviet Union.

The geometric interpretation of curl as rotation corresponds to identifying bivectors ( 2-vectors ) in 3 dimensions with the special orthogonal Lie algebra so ( 3 ) of infinitesimal rotations ( in coordinates, skew-symmetric 3 × 3 matrices ), while representing rotations by vectors corresponds to identifying 1-vectors ( equivalently, 2-vectors ) and so ( 3 ), these all being 3-dimensional spaces.

The simple groups of low 2-rank are mostly groups of Lie type of small rank over fields of odd characteristic, together with five alternating and seven characteristic 2 type and nine sporadic groups.

These are more or less the groups of Lie type of odd characteristic of large rank, and alternating groups, together with some sporadic groups.

If a group has an involution with a 2-component that is a group of Lie type of odd characteristic, the goal is to show that it has a centralizer of involution in " standard form " meaning that a centralizer of involution has a component that is of Lie type in odd characteristic and also has a centralizer of 2-rank 1.

If the 3 generations are then put in a 3x3 hermitian matrix with certain additions for the diagonal elements then these matrices form an exceptional ( grassman -) Jordan algebra, which has the symmetry group of one of the exceptional Lie groups ( F < sub > 4 </ sub >, E < sub > 6 </ sub >, E < sub > 7 </ sub > or E < sub > 8 </ sub >) depending on the details.

In particular Lie superalgebras would introduce bosons with the wrong statistics.

The general theory for Lie groups deals with semidirect products of the two types, by means of general results called Mackey theory, which is a generalization of Wigner's classification methods.

If a Lie algebra is associated with a Lie group, then the spelling of the Lie algebra is the same as that Lie group.

A Lie algebra is a vector space over some field F together with a binary operation called the Lie bracket, which satisfies the following axioms:

For any associative algebra A with multiplication, one can construct a Lie algebra L ( A ).

A homomorphism between two Lie algebras ( over the same ground field ) is a linear map that is compatible with the commutators:

* Any vector space V endowed with the identically zero Lie bracket becomes a Lie algebra.

* The three-dimensional Euclidean space R < sup > 3 </ sup > with the Lie bracket given by the cross product of vectors becomes a three-dimensional Lie algebra.

* The Heisenberg algebra H < sub > 3 </ sub >( R ) is a three-dimensional Lie algebra with elements:

This is a matrix Lie group, and its Lie algebra consists of all n × n matrices with real entries and trace 0.

One way of expressing the Lie bracket is through the formalism of Lie derivatives, which identifies a vector field X with a first order partial differential operator L < sub > X </ sub > acting on smooth functions by letting L < sub > X </ sub >( f ) be the directional derivative of the function f in the direction of X.

When he left Berlin, Lie traveled to Paris, where he was joined by Klein two months later.

That same year, Lie visited Klein, who was then at Erlangen and working on the Erlangen program.

In 1886 Lie became professor at Leipzig, replacing Klein, who had moved to Göttingen.

A Klein geometry consists of a Lie group G together with a Lie subgroup H of G. Together G and H determine a homogeneous space G / H, on which the group G acts by left-translation.

A Klein geometry consisted of a space, along with a law for motion within the space ( analogous to the Euclidean transformations of classical Euclidean geometry ) expressed as a Lie group of transformations.

The general approach of Cartan is to begin with such a smooth Klein geometry, given by a Lie group G and a Lie subgroup H, with associated Lie algebras and, respectively.

Bianchi was also greatly influenced by the geometrical ideas of Bernhard Riemann and by the work on transformation groups of Sophus Lie and Felix Klein.

By using the commutator as a Lie bracket, every associative algebra can be turned into a Lie algebra.

Lie algebras: Assigning to every real ( complex ) Lie group its real ( complex ) Lie algebra defines a functor.

It is known that every Lie algebra can be embedded into one that arises from an associative algebra in this fashion.

To every Lie group, we can associate a Lie algebra, whose underlying vector space is the tangent space of G at the identity element, which completely captures the local structure of the group.

One version of Ado's theorem is that every finite dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic to a matrix Lie algebra.

For every finite dimensional matrix Lie algebra, there is a linear group ( matrix Lie group ) with this algebra as its Lie algebra.

So every abstract Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of some ( linear ) Lie group.

If we require that the Lie group be simply connected, then the global structure is determined by its Lie algebra: for every finite dimensional Lie algebra over F there is a simply connected Lie group G with as Lie algebra, unique up to isomorphism.

Moreover every homomorphism between Lie algebras lifts to a unique homomorphism between the corresponding simply connected Lie groups.

The exponential map and the Lie algebra determine the local group structure of every connected Lie group, because of the Baker – Campbell – Hausdorff formula: there exists a neighborhood U of the zero element of, such that for u, v in U we have

Lie obtained his PhD at the University of Christiania ( present day Oslo ) in 1871 with a thesis entitled On a class of geometric transformations.

In his book, Which Lie Did I Tell ?, Goldman writes that after reading the script and spending a day with the writers, his only contribution was agreeing with comments that Rob Reiner had already made.

The show closed with a final countdown, topped by Shakira, as her track " Hips Don't Lie " ( featuring Wyclef Jean ) had climbed back up to number one on the UK Singles Chart earlier in the day.

Most of Taiping army's commanders failed to escape: Lie ( 列 ) King Li Wangcai ( 李万材 ) was captured on July 21, 1864 at Chunhua ( 淳化 ) Town, while Zhang ( 章 ) Lin Shaozhang ( 林绍璋 ) and Junior Western King ( 幼西王 ) Xiao Youhe ( 萧友和 ) was killed at Hushu ( 湖熟 ) Town on the same day.

This gives a rather large number of different cases to check: there are not only 26 sporadic groups and 16 families of groups of Lie type and the alternating groups, but also many of the groups of small rank or over small fields behave differently from the general case and have to be treated separately, and the groups of Lie type of even and odd characteristic are also quite different.

Watson wrote a series of didactic novels like Escaped from the Snare: Christian Science, Bewitched by Spiritualism, and The Gilded Lie, as warnings of the dangers posed by cultic groups.

The analytic techniques used for studying Lie groups must be replaced by techniques from algebraic geometry, where the relatively weak Zariski topology causes many technical complications.

There are several standard ways to form new Lie groups from old ones:

Lie and other mathematicians showed that the most important equations for special functions and orthogonal polynomials tend to arise from group theoretical symmetries.

The exponential map from the Lie algebra M < sub > n </ sub >( R ) of the general linear group GL < sub > n </ sub >( R ) to GL < sub > n </ sub >( R ) is defined by the usual power series:

Every vector v in determines a linear map from R to taking 1 to v, which can be thought of as a Lie algebra homomorphism.

The exponential map from the Lie algebra to the Lie group is not always onto, even if the group is connected ( though it does map onto the Lie group for connected groups that are either compact or nilpotent ).

Also, exponential map is not surjective nor injective for infinite-dimensional ( see below ) Lie groups modelled on C < sup >∞</ sup > Fréchet space, even from arbitrary small neighborhood of 0 to corresponding neighborhood of 1.

* The group of smooth maps from a manifold to a finite dimensional Lie group is an example of a gauge group ( with operation of pointwise multiplication ), and is used in quantum field theory and Donaldson theory.

The spin representations of the special orthogonal Lie algebras are distinguished from the tensor representations given by Weyl's construction by the weights.

An example of a topological group which is not a Lie group is given by the rational numbers Q with the topology inherited from R. This is a countable space and it does not have the discrete topology.

Engel would help Lie to write his most important treatise, Theorie der Transformationsgruppen, published in Leipzig in three volumes from 1888 to 1893.

Lie resigned from his post in May 1898 and returned to Norway in September of that year.

Hermann Weyl used Lie's work on group theory in his papers from 1922 and 1923, and Lie groups today play a role in quantum mechanics.

However, the subject of Lie groups as it is studied today is vastly different from what the research by Sophus Lie was about and “ among the 19th century masters, Lie's work is in detail certainly the least known today ”.

* The enveloping algebra U of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is a both left and right noetherian ring ; this follows from the fact that the associated graded ring of U is a quotient of, which is a polynomial ring over a field ; thus, noetherian.

In response to a request from Count Folke Bernadotte, United Nations Mediator for Palestine, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Trygve Lie, sent 50 members of the United Nations guard force from Lake Success to assist the Mediator in supervising the Truce in the former British Mandate of Palestine in 1948 and the " UNTSO ", the first peacekeeping operation was established by the United Nations.
