Exceptional Lie groups

Abstract

We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine the group structures of the fixed points subgroup. They correspond to the classification of all irreducible compact symmetric spaces of exceptional type, and that they also correspond to classification of all non-compact exceptionalsimple Lie groups. Finally, we determined the group structures of the maximal subgroups of maximal rank. At any rate, we would like this book to be used in mathematics and physics.
