Student gets familiar with the basic concepts of Lie group with the associated Lie algebra, and with Lie theory. In particular, the student learns the basic theory of representations of compact Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. Lie groups are a central concept of differential geometry and are applied in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics.

Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge and
understanding of basic concepts and definitions
of the theory of Lie groups.
Application: Solving problems using the theory.
Reflection: Understanding of the theory from
the applications.
Transferable skills: Skills in using the literature and other sources, the ability to identify and solve the problem, critical analysis.
