Springer Monographs in Mathematics Lie Algebras and Algebraic Groups, (Hardcover)

The theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups has been an area of active research for the last 50 years. This book assembles in a single volume the algebraic aspects of the theory, so as to present the foundations of the theory in characteristic zero. Detailed proofs are included and some recent results are discussed in the final chapters. All the prerequisites on commutative algebra and algebraic geometry are included.
