Resum
[en] The present document is a first introduction to the Theory of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras and their representations. Lie Groups verify the characteristics of both a group and a smooth manifold structure. They arise from the need to study continuous symmetries, which is exactly what is needed for some branches of modern Theoretical Physics and in particular for quantum mechanics.
The main objectives of this work are the following. First of all, to introduce the notion of a matrix Lie Group and see some examples, which will lead us to the general notion of Lie Group. From there, we will define the exponential map, which is the link to the notion of Lie Algebras. Every matrix Lie Group comes attached
somehow to its Lie Algebra. Next we will introduce some notions of Representation Theory. Using the detailed examples of SU(2) and SU(3), we will study how the irreducible representations of certain types of Lie Groups are constructed through their Lie Algebras. Finally, we will state a general classification for the irreducible
representations of the complex semisimple Lie Algebras.
