Theorem 5.4. Let \( G \) be a compact Lie group and \( T \) a connected Lie subgroup of G. Then \( T \) is a maximal torus if and only if \( \mathfrak{t} \) is a Cartan subalgebra. In particular, maximal tori and Cartan subalgebras exist.
Proof. Theorems 4.14 and 5.1 show that \( T \) is a maximal torus of \( G \) if and only \( \mathfrak{t} \) is a Cartan subalgebra of \( \mathfrak{g} \) . Since maximal Abelian subalgebras clearly exist, this also shows that maximal tori exist.

Proof. By choosing a basis for \( \mathfrak{t} \) and using the fact that \( \mathfrak{t} \) is maximal Abelian in \( \mathfrak{g} \), there exist independent \( {\left\{ {X}_{i}\right\} }_{i = 1}^{n},{X}_{i} \in \mathfrak{t} \), so that \( \mathfrak{t} = { \cap }_{i}\ker \left( {\operatorname{ad}{X}_{i}}\right) \).

Theorem 5.9. Let \( G \) be a compact Lie group and \( \mathfrak{t} \) a Cartan subalgebra. For \( X \in \mathfrak{g} \) , there exists \( g \in G \) so that \( \operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) X \in \mathfrak{t} \) .
Proof. Let \( \left( {\cdot , \cdot }\right) \) be an Ad-invariant inner product on \( \mathfrak{g} \) . Using Lemma 5.7, write \( \mathfrak{t} = \) \( {\mathfrak{z}}_{\mathfrak{g}}\left( Y\right) \) for some \( Y \in \mathfrak{g} \) .

Using Theorem 5.9, there is a \( g \in G \) so that \( \operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) {X}_{1} \in {\mathfrak{t}}_{2} \). Using the fact that \( \operatorname{Ad}\lef...

Lemma 5.11. Let \( G \) be a compact connected Lie group. The kernel of the Adjoint map is the center of \( G \), i.e., \( \operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) = I \) if and only if \( g \in Z\left( G\right) \), where \( Z\left( G\right) = \) \( \{ h \in G \mid {gh} = {hg}\} \) .
Proof. If \( g \in Z\left( G\right) \), then \( {c}_{g} \) is the identity, so that its differential, \( \operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) \), is trivial as well. On the other hand, if \( \operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) = I \), then \( {c}_{g}{e}^{X} = {e}^{\operatorname{Ad}\left( g\right) X} = {e}^{X} \) for \( X \in ...

Corollary 5.13. Let \( G \) be a compact connected Lie group with maximal torus \( T \) . (a) Then \( {Z}_{G}\left( T\right) = T \), where \( {Z}_{G}\left( T\right) = \{ g \in G \mid {gt} = {tg} \) for \( t \in T\} \) . In particular, \( T \) is maximal Abelian.
Proof. Part (b) clearly follows from part (a). For part (a), obviously \( T \subseteq {Z}_{G}\left( T\right) \) . Conversely, let \( {g}_{0} \in {Z}_{G}\left( T\right) \) and consider the closed, therefore compact, connected Lie subgroup \( {Z}_{G}{\left( {g}_{0}\right) }^{0} \) . Using the Maximal Torus Theorem, write...

Corollary 5.16. Let \( N \) be a connected Lie subgroup of \( {GL}\left( {n,\mathbb{C}}\right) \) whose Lie algebra \( \mathfrak{n} \) lies in the set of strictly upper triangular matrices, i.e., if \( X \in \mathfrak{n} \), then \( {X}_{i, j} = 0 \) when \( i \geq j \) .

Proof. For part (a), first note that \( {G}^{\prime } \) is closed and therefore compact. It follows from the Maximal Torus Theorem that \( {G}^{\prime } = \exp {\mathfrak{g}}^{\prime } \) . Using the decomposition \( \mathfrak{g} = {\mathfrak{g}}^{\prime } \oplus \mathfrak{z}\left( \mathfrak{g}\right) \) and the fact ...

Then \( V \) is irreducible under \( \mathfrak{g} \) if and only if it is irreducible under \( {\mathfrak{g}}_{\mathbb{C}} \)...

Proof. Let \( \alpha \in \Delta \left( {\mathfrak{g}}_{\mathbb{C}}\right) \cup \{ 0\} \). Recalling that \( \theta \) is an involution, it suffices to show \( \theta {\mathfrak{g}}_{\alpha } \subseteq {\mathfrak{g}}_{-\alpha } \).

Proof. For part (a) simply use the definitions \[ \alpha \left( {h}_{\alpha }\right) = \frac{{2\alpha }\left( {u}_{\alpha }\right) }{B\left( {{u}_{\alpha },{u}_{\alpha }}\right) } = \frac{{2B}\left( {{u}_{\alpha },{u}_{\alpha }}\right) }{B\left( {{u}_{\alpha },{u}_{\alpha }}\right) } = 2. \]

Theorem 6.36. Let \( G \) be a compact connected Lie group with a maximal torus \( T \). (a) The action of \( W \) on it and on \( {\left( i\mathfrak{t}\right) }^{ * } \) is faithful, i.e., a Weyl group element acts trivially if and only it is the identity element.
Proof. For part (a), suppose \( w \in N \) acts trivially on \( \mathfrak{t} \) via Ad. Since \( \exp \mathfrak{t} = T \) and since \( {c}_{w} \circ \exp = \exp \circ \operatorname{Ad}\left( w\right) \), this implies that \( w \in {Z}_{G}\left( T\right) \) .
