Download or read book Exceptional Lie Algebras and the Structure of Hermitian Symmetric Spaces written by Daniel Drucker and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1978 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explicitly determines the "orbit structure" of all irreducible hermitian symmetric (IHS) spaces in a unified way by means of Lie algebra calculations, using J. Tits' models of the Lie algebras [script]e6 and [script]e7 in the two "exceptional" cases. An introduction to the theory of hermitian symmetric spaces is included, along with an elementary exposition of the facts from nonassociative algebra needed to understand and use Tits' constructions of all the complex exceptional simple Lie algebras and their real forms
