    How to Start Learning Lie Groups with Minimal Physics Background?

    Hi all, I wanted to study Lie groups and their connections with differential geometry. But i don't want to get involved with lots of 'deep physics'. I am familiar with a little bit of group theory. can somebody suggest the right introductory material like tutorial papers or books for such a...

    Exploring Lie Groups and Their Use in Physics

    Here is a nice question I know that exponentiating elements of a Lie-Algebra gives you back an element of the Lie-Group. These Lie-algebra-elements generate the Lie-Group transformations. Like the Galilei-group, these Lie-groups are used in theoretical fysics as the great START, I mean they...

    Structure constants of Lie groups

    Source: Anderson, Principles of Relativity Physics p. 13, prob. 1.4 "Reparametrize the rotation group by taking, as new infinitesimal parameters, ε1 = ε23, ε2 = ε31, and ε3 = ε12 and calculate the structure constants for these parameters." My assumptions: (1) The εij mentioned in...
