Preface

Lie theory, inaugurated through the fundamental work of Sophus Lie during the late nineteenth century, has proved central in many areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Sophus Lie’s formulation was originally in the language of analysis and geometry; however, by now, a vast algebraic counterpart of the theory has been developed. As in algebraic geometry, the deepest and most far-rea
