Algebraic Groups and Lie Groups with Few Factors

Algebraic groups are treated in this volume from a group theoretical point of view and the obtained results are compared with the analogous issues in the theory of Lie groups. The main body of the text is devoted to a classification of algebraic groups an

Preface

In the theory of locally compact topological groups, the aspects and notions from abstract group theory have conquered a meaningful place from the beginning (see New Bibliography in [44] and, e.g. [41–43]). Imposing grouptheoretical conditions on the closed connected subgroups of a topological group has always been the way to develop the theory of locally compact groups along the lines of the theory of abstract groups. Despite the fact that the class of algebraic groups has become a classical object in the mathematics of the last decades, most of the attention was concentrated on reductive algebraic groups. For an affine connected solvable algebraic group G, the theorem of Lie–Kolchin has been considered as definitive for the structure of G, whereas for connected non-affine groups, the attention turns to the analytic and homological aspects of these groups, which are quasi-projective varieties (cf. [79, 80, 89]). Complex Lie groups a
