Lie Algebras and Locally Compact Groups Paperback - 1995

by Irving Kaplansky


From the publisher

This volume presents lecture notes based on the author's courses on Lie algebras and the solution of Hilbert's fifth problem. In chapter 1, "Lie Algebras," the structure theory of semi-simple Lie algebras in characteristic zero is presented, following the ideas of Killing and Cartan. Chapter 2, "The Structure of Locally Compact Groups," deals with the solution of Hilbert's fifth problem given by Gleason, Montgomery, and Zipplin in 1952.

First line

Our beginning point is the concept of a ring: a set with an addition and multiplication satisfying the usual axioms, except that there is no assumption of associativity or of a substitute for associativity.

From the rear cover

This volume-brought back into print because of the continued importance of the mathematics involved-makes available Irving Kaplansky's classic lecture notes from his courses on Lie algebras and the solution of Hilbert's fifth problem.
