Lie群，我们基本上就是指正交群，酉群，辛群以及一些例外群。
小维数的单Lie群（Simple Lie groups of small dimension）
同一行的群都有相同的Lie代数。在1维情形，群是可交换的和非单的。
The following table lists some Lie groups with simple Lie algebras of small dimension. The groups on a given line all have the same Lie algebra. In the dimension 1 case, the groups are abelian and not simple.
Dimension[注：弱抽象为相应维数的流形][注：对应的单Lie代数]单Lie代数对应的单Lie群，不同构者以逗号分隔开
1[R,S^1]一维非紧致单连通可交换单Lie群R, 一维紧致非单连通可交换单Lie群S^1=U(1)=SO(2)=Spin(2)
 一维可交换Lie群——用矩阵（线性变换）的形式来表示绕固定轴的旋转群SO(2)：
{{x'},{y'}}={{cosθ,-sinθ},{sinθ,cosθ}}{{x},{y}}={{xcosθ-ysinθ},{xcosθ-ysinθ}}
O(1,1)群还包含反射（如x->-x,y->y）相应行列式为-1。是一个连续的、单参数非紧致一维Lie群
O(1,1)使x^2-y^2不变，可用一个参数a表示群元{{cosha,sinha},{sinha,cosha}},a∈R（参数空间无界）,detM=1,是群的一个二维表示。
3[S^3,RP^3][A_1]三维紧致单连通单Lie群S^3=Sp(1)=SU(2)=Spin(3),三维紧致非单连通不可交换单Lie群SO(3)=PSU(2)(Compact)
一个三维不可交换Lie群——三维转动群SO(3)也称为特殊正交群.三维空间绕固定点的一个转动，习惯用Euler角（θ，Φ，Ψ）来描述一个转动。不是单连通的流形。
g^Ψ_z表示绕z轴转Ψ角
g^θ_x表示绕x轴转θ角
g^Φ_y表示绕y轴转Φ角
于是g=g^Φ_yg^θ_xg^Ψ_z
令θ，Φ=0，即绕固定点O和固定轴z轴旋转Ψ
则{{x'},{y'}}={{cosΨ,-sinΨ},{sinΨ,cosΨ}}{{x},{y}}={{xcosΨ-ysinΨ},{xcosΨ-ysinΨ}}
{{x'},{y'},{z'}}={{cosΨ,-sinΨ,0},{sinΨ,cosΨ,0},{0,0,1}}{{x},{y},{z}}={{xcosΨ-ysinΨ},{xcosΨ-ysinΨ},{z}}
仅满足g^tg=gg^t[而不要求det g>0]的线性变换所构成的群称为O(3)——正交群。
三维转动群SO(3)是3维连通紧致单线性Lie群，相应的实Lie代数so(3)是3维1秩紧致实单Lie代数。
二维Lorentz群SO(2,1)是3维非紧致单线性Lie群，相应的实Lie代数so(2,1)是3维1秩非紧致实单Lie代数。
3 SL(2,R)=Sp(2,R),三维非紧致单Lie群SO(2,1)
O(2,1)是一个连续的、三参数非紧致三维Lie群，对易关系是：[I_1,I_2]=iI_3,[I_2,I_3]=-iI_1,[I_1,I_3]=-iI_2,
6 SL(2,C)=Sp(2,C), SO(3,1), SO(3,C)
8 SL(3,R)
8 SU(3)
8 SU(1,2)
10 Sp(2)=Spin(5), SO(5)
10 SO(4,1), Sp(2,2)
10 SO(3,2),Sp(4,R)
14 G2 (Compact)
14 G2 (Split)
15 SU(4)=Spin(6), SO(6)
15 SL(4,R), SO(3,3)
15 SU(3,1)
15 SU(2,2), SO(4,2)
15 SL(2,H), SO(5,1)
16 SL(3,C)
20 SO(5,C), Sp(4,C)
从1883年起，索非斯·李（Sophus Lie,1842.12.17-1899.2.18）等人开始研究Lie代数的结构，而且得出四个类型局部单Lie群，即射影线性群，射影正交群及射影辛群，这就是后来的典型Lie群(Lie代数)的来源。
域F上一个Lie代数g是所谓单的，即指除了g本身和{0}以外,g不含其他理想[构成Lie代数的环是单的就叫单Lie代数]。
域F上一个有限维Lie代数g是所谓半单的，即指g不含非零可解理想。
每一个有限维Lie代数g都含有惟一的最大可解理想r,就是这样一个理想, 它包含g的一切可解理想，称为g的根基。
g是半单的当且仅当它的根基r＝{0}。
特征为0的域上每一个半单Lie代数都是一些单Lie代数的直和。
