The Lie-algebra of Quaternion algebras and their Lie-subalgebras
In this video we discuss the Lie-algebras of general quaternion algebras over general fields, especially as the Lie-algebra is naturally given for 2x2 representations. The video follows a longer video I previously did on quaternions, but this time I focus on the Lie-algebra operation. I st

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

The Weyl algebra and the Heisenberg Lie algebra
In this video we give a simple teaser into the world of operator algebras. In particular, we talk about the Weyl algebra and compute some expressions that fulfill the property which defines the Heisenberg Lie algebra http://math.uchicago.edu/~may/REU2012/REUPapers/Lingle.pdf https://en.w

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

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

RNT1.4. Ideals and Quotient Rings
Ring Theory: We define ideals in rings as an analogue of normal subgroups in group theory. We give a correspondence between (two-sided) ideals and kernels of homomorphisms using quotient rings. We also state the First Isomorphism Theorem for Rings and give examples.

Lie groups: Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem
This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We state the Poincare-Birkhoff Witt theorem, which shows that the universal enveloping algebra (UEA) of a Lie algebra is the same size as a polynomial algebra. We prove it for Lie algebras of Lie groups and sketch a proof of

Math talk: Sporadic groups and number theory
This talk was the introduction to the Berkeley graduate number theory discussion seminar on 2020-10-28, and the aim was to explain why number theorists might be interested in sporadic simple groups. We give a brief summary of monstrous moonshine relating sporadic groups to modular functi

Simple Groups - Abstract Algebra
Simple groups are the building blocks of finite groups. After decades of hard work, mathematicians have finally classified all finite simple groups. Today we talk about why simple groups are so important, and then cover the four main classes of simple groups: cyclic groups of prime order
