Question

Integrals of functions on an object named for this mathematician can be computed via integrals over a maximal torus by Weyl's integral formula. (15[1])Root systems of objects named for this mathematician are classified in Dynkin diagrams. Objects named for this mathematician are semisimple if and only if their associated Killing form is non-degenerate, according to Cartan’s criterion. The tangent space (-5[1])at the identity of an object named for this mathematician is isomorphic to the space of (*) left-invariant vector fields on said object. Another object named for this mathematician is a vector space together with a bilinear map that is antisymmetric, satisfies the Jacobi identity, and is denoted by a pair of square brackets. For 10 points, groups that are also differentiable manifolds are named for what Norwegian (-5[1])mathematician? ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: Sophus Lie [accept Lie groups or Lie algebras or Lie bracket]
