The prerequisites for this book are roughly the following: (A)Generalities about Lie groups, Lie algebras, and the correspondence between them, as expounded for instance in [2, Chap. I] or [3,4].(B)General theorems about Lie algebras over fields of characteristic zero ([1], or [6, Exp. 1 to 8]).(C)Structure of complex semi-simple Lie algebras and some results about their real forms [6,8].(D)Some facts about Linear connections and Riemannian geometry.
