Lie’s theory of continuous symmetries was originally for differential equations, but turns out to be very useful for physics because symmetries are manifest in many physical systems. This is the start of a series on Lie groups, Lie algebras, and Lie brackets.

So I decided to make a series on Lie theory! Hopefully wouldn't get too stressed about making another video series - last time I was hoping to see the end series simply because my interests simply waned by the last video in the series. However, because this topic is a little more closely related to what I will do in the future, I am hopefully a lot more interested in it. Anyway, enjoy! P.S. The next video is going to be a little "easy" for some people, but it is to let everyone on the same page, and honestly there will be some further and more specific motivation to study Lie groups in general.

@itzakehrenberg3449 Год назад

I am quite happy that you are doing this & look forward to future videos in the series.

@tissuepaper9962 Год назад

"too slow" is better than too fast in a RU-vid lecture series, don't worry about making the lectures too easy. Those of us with shorter attention (or more advanced knowledge) have long since learned how to put the video on 2x speed. One of the problems I have had with Michael Penn's videos about Lie theory is that he assumes a lot of domain knowledge that I don't have. I'd much rather have it spelled out in excruciating detail and skip over the parts I already know.

Do you see how all this affect the algebraic language.i think that many mathematicians forgot that mathematics language attributes are primary to numerical attributes.

@rdbury507 Год назад

Thanks for this. I've studied Lie algebras, but the textbooks I've read usually just start with axioms for the bracket operator with little or no motivation. No one ever said "it's meant to be like Galois theory." Btw, whenever I hear the phrase "Lie bracket" I think of the sci-fi writer Leigh Brackett. I'm pretty sure they're not connected though.

@mathemaniac Год назад

The content is nothing like Galois theory, to be honest. However, that was what prompted Lie to study symmetries, which is something I did not know before researching for this video series!

I very much appreciate this initiative to teach and explain Lie Algebras. I am an engineer and this mathematics is not normally taught, yet it is very useful in my field (e.g. finite rotations, nonlinear manifolds, etc.). I am self taught, but the lack of formal education has made it tricky to master it. It's nice to see your videos on this and start to understand the root of the concepts.

@ANONAAAAAAAAA Год назад

I'm really looking forward to this series! My current extremely poor understandings of Lie theory are as follows, which I really want to upgrade from. - Dealing with continuous groups means you have to think of infinitely small change of the group elements, just like deriving velocities from positional changes - For studying infinitely small changes of continuous groups, you have to investigate the tangent space spanned on the identity element of the group or the changes form the identity. - You only need to care about changes from the identity because any change can be transformed to the change originated from the identity element just like this: a '+' da = a(e '+' a^-1da) = a(I '+' da') - Plain tangent spaces are actually not enough to capture the noncommutativity of the groups, for which we need special operator on the tangent space called Lie bracket.

@Achrononmaster 6 месяцев назад

@3:54 little tip: don't say "quantum spin". There really is no such thing. It's just rotational symmetry but of local structure in spacetime rather than global. Spin groups are classical. Quantum mechanics has nothing to do with spin per se, and quantized spin is not a thing. What is quantized is spacetime topology, which provides us with the local structure. What *_is_* a thing are the commutation relations between the generators, but they are classical too, however in classical mechanics since we can measure to arbitrary accuracy we don't employ them, but we do worry about commutativity when we cannot measure to arbitrary accuracy and so when the commutators do not vanish we get incompatible observables. All the "quantum" is in the entanglement structure (the reason why we cannot measure to arbitrary accuracy), not the spin structure. The spin structure is classical really, fermions are natural in classical GR (if you use the spin connexion, not the metric, or if you prefer, two gauge fields, one for positon gauge and one for rotation gauge), and can be well described in a real Clifford algebra of rotors which also works for QM. Spinors are just scaled rotors. In other words, spinors are not particles per se, they are instructions. But what for? Answer: Instructions for a theory of measurement (how to translate a laboratory frame onto a particle's co-moving frame).

@JCisHere778 Год назад

Lie Groups are quite the rabbit hole to go down :). But I have to disagree with the statement that Lie-Theory applied to differential equations did not catch on... I believe his reduction algorithm for ODEs is implemented in most CAS software and covers most standard methods. (Except for Integration multipliers. Which, however, are closely related)

@watcher8582 Год назад

I'm not sure if "...still very useful, not necessarily differential equations" is accurate. Especially if you then pull up their use in physical systems, which are for a large part of it part all governed exactly by differential equations. The symmetries of these equations and Lagrangians (be it in classical mechanics or field and particle theory) are how they come into play. Maybe it can be said that they did "not dominate the study of differential equations" (as there are many methods in that field), but in the other direction when Lie groups are applied, then it's exactly because of their relation to differential equations. Even if in the math department the Prof's there will teach these groups in abstract isolation (just how they present group- and manifold theory also).

@mathemaniac Год назад

Maybe I should have said the use has gone well beyond DEs. I still stand by "did not dominate the study of DE", though.

@CristhianDebarros Год назад

It is good to understand The classes of symmetries, and how they are connected with a pure and simple Lie algebra. I can understand the formal definition of a space of symmetry as a finite Lie-algebra $f_{1}$ in $\{f_{1}, p\}$ since $p= n$ (so p is any integer ) , which acts freely on the functions $f_{1}$ . Then it is $\{f_{1}, p\}= Sym_{\bullet}$ since the associative algebra $f_{1}+ p|_{\varphi}$ limits all finite and simple Lie algebras. Now there exists a $\{f_{1}, p_{k}\} o that only limits to $p_{k}$ , here the Lie-algebras are semisimple in $\Psi{} (r)$ , since the equivalences in $p_{k}$ or their symmetries are only local, for example $p_{k}= R^{n+k}$ which constructs only local symmetric spaces of a Lie semialgebra, in $Sym (p_{k }):= R^{n+k}\times R^{n-1}$ .note that when a Lie-algebra $f_{1}$ is simple throughout $p$ it acts freely on $p$ and arises a concept in algebra and geometry called -Global space or group $G_{2} (X)$ Which proves that $p\in{} 1,2\} in Every semialgebra $p\in{} \{1, 2_{ 0}\} such that the algebra is only associative on $1$ . Here arises an idea from Clliford of the vector-Mukai $v$ that is semi-orthogonal in $v^{+}\to{} M$ here the semi-simple Lie-algebra of $p_{k} is studied on that vector $v$ $.... In general, a symmetry is always a Lie-algebra that is associative,

In the realm of mathematical exploration, a visionary mathematician named Eli discovers a hidden dimension within Lie algebra-a realm where abstract symmetries take shape. As Eli delves into this uncharted territory, a new kind of geometry begins to emerge, challenging conventional notions. In this geometric landscape shaped by Lie algebra, memorizing intricate structures becomes the key to unlocking its secrets. Eli's mind becomes a repository of complex ideas, where the memorization of Lie group transformations and infinitesimal elements becomes a poetic dance of understanding. As Eli navigates through this geometric tapestry, the traditional notions of points, lines, and surfaces blur into a symphony of interwoven concepts. Memorizing the subtle interplay of Lie algebraic elements transforms Eli into a custodian of an otherworldly geometry, where the language of symmetries dictates the rules. The entasis of this mathematical odyssey lies not only in the intricate memorization of these complex ideas but in the revelation that this new geometry offers a profound glimpse into the nature of the mathematical universe-a journey where memorizing becomes a profound act of communion with the intrinsic beauty of abstract structures.
