Synopsis

Long regarded as a standard introduction to the subject, this work was among the first to present Lie groups from a global perspective. Chevalley covers a broad range of foundational material, including the classical linear groups, topological groups and manifolds, as well as analytic groups and Cartan’s differential calculus. The treatment also addresses compact Lie groups and their representations.

It has been described as “the basic reference on Lie groups” by the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, and is suited to readers working in mathematics and related areas of science and engineering.
