Aims
The course introduce and develope the main rations and results in the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. This theory is an important instrument in solving some problems in differential geometry and theoretical physics. The seminars cover by examples,

1. Elementary properties of topologically groups
2. Topologically groups of transformations
II. LIE GROUPS
1. The definition of Lie groups. Exponential application.
2. One parameter subgroups. Lie subgroups. The classical Lie groups.
3. Diferential structures on orbit spaces.
4. The characterization theorem of connected abelian Lie groups.
5. Maximal Torus.
III. Lie Algebras
1. Generalities
2. Nilpotent and solvable Lie Algebras.
3. Biliniar mappings and semisimple Lie algebras.
