Table Of Lie Groups




We remark on the Topological properties of the group ( Dimension , Connectedness , Compactness , the nature of the Fundamental Group , and whether or not they are Simply Connected ), as well as on their algebraic properties ( Abelian , Simple , Semisimple ).

For more examples of Lie groups and other related topics see the List Of Simple Lie Groups and the List Of Lie Group Topics .

REAL LIE ALGEBRAS


Table legend:
  • S: Is this algebra simple? (Yes or No)

  • SS: Is this algebra Semi-simple ? (Yes or No)




COMPLEX LIE GROUPS AND THEIR ALGEBRAS


The dimensions given are dimensions over C. Note that every complex Lie group/algebra can also be viewed as a real Lie group/algebra of twice the dimension.
