详细说明： This book is designed to introduce the reader to the theory of semisimple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, with emphasis on representations. A good knowledge of linear algebra (including eigenvalues, bilinear forms, euclide an spaces, and tensor products of vector spaces) is presupposed, as well as some acquaintance with the methods of abstract algebra. The first four chapters might well be read by a bright undergraduate; however, the remaining three chapters are admittedly a little more demanding. Besides being useful in many parts of mathematics and physics, the theory of semisimple Lie algebras is inherently attractive, combining as it does a certain amount of depth and a satisfying degree of completeness in its basic results. Since Jacobson's book appeared a decade ago, improvements have been made even in the classical parts of the theory. I have tried to incor- porate some of them here and to provide easier access to the subject for non-specialists. For the specialist, the following features should be noted: (1) The Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of linear transformations is emphasized, with "toral" subalgebras replacing the more traditional Cartan subalgebras in the semisimple case. (2) The conjugacy theorem for cartan subalgebras is proved (following D. J. Winter and G. D. Mostow) by elementary Lie algebra methods, avoiding the use of algebraic geometry. (3) The isomorphism theorem is proved first in an elementary way (Theorem 14.2), but later obtained again as a corollary of Serre's Theorem (18.3), which gives a presentation by generators and relations. (4) From the outset, the simple algebras of types A, B, C, D are empha- sized in the text and exercises. (5) Root systems are treated axiomatically (Chapter III), along with some of the theory of weights. (6) A conceptual approach to Weyl's character formula, based on Harish-chandra's theory of "characters" and independent of Freudenthal's multiplicity formula (22.3), is presented in 23 and 24. This is inspired by D.-N. Verma's thesis, and recent work of I. N. Bernstein, I. M. Gel'fand, S. I. Gel'fand. (7) The basic constructions in the theory of Chevalley groups are given in Chapter VII, following lecture notes of R. Steinberg. I have had to omit many standard topics (most of which I feel are better suited to a second course), e.g., cohomology, theorems of Levi and Mal'cev, theorems of Ado and Iwasawa, classification over non-algebraically closed fields, Lie algebras in prime characteristic. I hope the reader will be stirn u- lated to pursue these topics in the books and articles listed under References, especially Jacobson [1], Bourbaki [1], [2], Winter [1], Seligman [1]. ...展开收缩
