Lie theory

In mathematics, the mathematician Sophus Lie (/liː/ LEE) initiated lines of study involving integration of differential equations, transformation groups, and contact of spheres that have come to be called Lie theory. For instance, the latter subject is Lie sphere geometry. This article addresses his approach to transformation groups, which is one of the areas of mathematics, and was worked out by Wilhelm Killing and Élie Cartan. The foundation of Lie theory is the exponential map relating Lie algebras to Lie groups which is called the Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence. The subject is part of differential geometry since Lie groups are differentiable manifolds. Lie groups evolve out of the identity (1) and the tangent vectors to one-parameter subgroups generate the Lie algebra. The structure of a Lie group is implicit in its algebra, and the structure of the Lie algebra is expressed by root systems and root data. Lie theory has been particularly useful in mathematical physics since it describes the standard transformation groups: the Galilean group, the Lorentz group, the Poincaré group and the conformal group of spacetime.

Lie groups: Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We define the Lie algebra of a Lie group in two ways, and show that it satisfied the Jacobi identity. The we calculate the Lie algebras of a few Lie groups. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.co

Axioms of Lie algebra theory

In this video I write down the axioms of Lie algebras and then discuss the defining anti-symmetric bilinear map (the Lie bracket) which is zero on the diagonal and fulfills the Jacobi identity. I'm following the compact book "Introduction to Lie Algebras" by Erdmann and Wildon. https://gi

Lie derivatives of differential forms

Introduces the lie derivative, and its action on differential forms. This is applied to symplectic geometry, with proof that the lie derivative of the symplectic form along a Hamiltonian vector field is zero. This is really an application of the wonderfully named "Cartan's magic formula"

Lie groups: Lie groups and Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We discuss the relation between Lie groups and Lie algebras, and give several examples showing how they behave differently. Lie algebras turn out to correspond more closely to the simply connected Lie groups. We then explain

Lie Groups for Deep Learning w/ Graph Neural Networks

Lie Groups encode the symmetry of systems. We examine actions of a Lie group on a vector space, given their algebraic, topological and analysis based connectome. Deep Learning algorithms for Graph Neural Networks (GNN) are non trivial, and to understand them Lie Groups are essential! A r

Edges that Lie on One Boundary of a Region in a Plane Graph | Graph Theory

Not all edges in a plane graph lie on the boundaries of two regions. If we draw a planar graph in the plane with no edge crossings, any edge that lies on a cycle will be on the boundaries of two regions, but edges that do not lie on cycles (bridges) will be on the boundary of only one regi

Riddle For Genius - When Does The Thief Tell The Truth?

A funny thing happened in this logic video. I solved a harder problem than was presented! It works out to the same answer, and usually it's a good thing in math to solve a stronger theorem. But in education it can be confusing. So I will make a revised video! Update, see the revised video:
