Welcome

Welcome to MAT4270!

The course will have  (hopefully) three parts:

1) Finite groups

2) Compact groups, compact Lie groups

3) Complex Lie algebras

I shall follow a specific book, but I have made some preliminary noteswhich hopefully will be useful. They will expand and change. For a good  list of relevant literature  consult the cours' web-page for the year 2013.

We shall however do things a little more algebraically than in the previous versions of the course, a little in positive characteristic as well.
