What about mentioning Killing and Cartan's classification of all possible compact simple Lie algebras? (i.e. the classical groups SU(N), SO(N), and Sp(N), and the exceptional algebras G2, F4, E6, E7, and E8.) --

Yup, that's important. Maybe it fits better on Lie algebra though? AxelBoldt, Monday, May 27, 2002
