Course contents :
 |
| In this course, we will essentially study the theory of finite dimensional Lie algebras.
We will focus on classical concepts such as solvable, nilpotent, or semi-simple Lie algebras.
We will also study the representation theory of (semi-simple) Lie algebras and expose the classification of finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebras.
Finally, we will expose a few generalizations of Lie algebras (Lie superalgebras for instance). |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
 |
| A good knowledge of linear algebra and basic knowledge of differential geometry are necessary. |
 |
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
 |
| Face-to-face |
 |
Assessment methods and criteria :
 |
| The students should give an oral presentation of some themes studied during the lectures (exam).
They can also be asked to give a presentation on a topic involving the theory developed in the lectures. This topic is determined by the teacher. |
