Lie Algebras and Lie Groups 1964 Lectures Given at Harvard University

This book reproduces J-P. Serre's 1964 Harvard lectures. The aim is to introduce the reader to the "Lie dictionary": Lie algebras and Lie groups. Special features of the presentation are its emphasis on formal groups (in the Lie group part) and the use of analytic manifolds on p-adic fields. Some knowledge of algebra and calculus is required of the reader, but the text is easily accessible to graduate students, and to mathematicians at large.Serre, J.-P. is the author of 'Lie Algebras and Lie Groups 1964 Lectures Given at Harvard University', published 1992 under ISBN 9783540550082 and ISBN 3540550089.
