For example, what do you mean by "maximal torus"? This is a term coming from algebraic groups, which doesn't even occur in the index of Knapp's 1996 Birkhauser text. While "torus" in its older sense occurs in the study of compact Lie groups, a Lie group in general was originally studied by passing to the complexified Lie algebra and its (conjugate) Cartan subalgebras. | |
