The "abstract,""formal"or"axiomatic"direction,to which the fresh impetus in algebra is euc ,haw led ,haw led to a numbe of new formulations of ideas,insight into new interrelations,and far-reaching results results,especially in group theory ,field theory,valuation theory, ideal theory,and the theory of hypercomplex numbers.The principal objective of this reason ,genreral concepts and methods stand in the foregorund ,particular results which properly belong to classical algebra must also be give appropriate consideration within the framrwork of the modern development.
本书是一部的李群及其表示论研究生教材,深受数学专业和物理专业的研究生好评。本书初版于1972年,以后经过多次修订重印,本书是1997年的第7次修订重印版。书中对一些问题的处理很有特色,立足点较高,但叙述十分清晰,如线性变换的Jordan-Chevalley分解、Cartan子代数的共轭定理、同构定理的证明、根系统的公理化处理、Weyl特征子公式、Chevalley群的基本结构等。
