This article gives a table of some common [[Lie group]]s and their associated [[Lie algebra]]s.
 
The following are noted: the [[Topology|topological]] properties of the group ([[dimension]]; [[Connected space|connectedness]]; [[Compact space|compactness]]; the nature of the [[fundamental group]]; and whether or not they are [[simply connected]]) as well as on their algebraic properties ([[Abelian group|abelian]]; [[Simple group|simple]]; [[Semisimple group|semisimple]]).
 
For more examples of Lie groups and other related topics see the [[list of simple Lie groups]]; the [[Bianchi classification]] of groups of up to three dimensions; and the [[list of Lie group topics]].
 
== Real Lie groups and their algebras ==
 
Column legend
* '''CM''': Is this group ''G'' [[Compact space|compact]]? (Yes or No)
* '''<math>\pi_0</math>''': Gives the [[group of components]] of ''G''. The order of the component group gives the number of [[connected space|connected components]]. The group is [[connected space|connected]] if and only if the component group is [[trivial group|trivial]] (denoted by 0).
* '''<math>\pi_1</math>''': Gives the [[fundamental group]] of ''G'' whenever ''G'' is connected. The group is [[simply connected]] if and only if the fundamental group is [[trivial group|trivial]] (denoted by 0).
* '''UC''': If ''G'' is not simply connected, gives the [[universal cover]] of ''G''.

Latest revision as of 10:27, 8 December 2014

Choosing the right webhosting service is vital. The last thing you desire to do is get a website published with a hosting service (after learning to use that hosting service), and afterwards be dissatisfied with the service and need to mess around with transferring your website to an additional hosting service.

I'm a delighted HostGator customer. I make use of both HostGator and Bluehost. I advise both. This short article is a detailed HostGator review.

I'll start with among the most crucial factors to consider: Rate

HostGator has a number of pricing strategies. They are as follows (since the date this article was released):.

Hatchling Strategy: as reduced as $4.95 per month with a 3 year dedication. On this plan you can host one site.
Child Strategy: as low as $7.95 per month with a 3 year dedication. On this strategy you can host an endless variety of websites.
Company Strategy: as reduced as $12.95 per month with 3 year commitment.

You don't need to commit for 3 years. With much shorter term commitments, you'll pay somewhat more per month.

Should you loved this informative article and also you would like to obtain more info with regards to Www.Hostgator1Centcoupon.info, iaco.ajou.ac.kr, generously go to the website. You can likewise get your own dedicated server if this is something you like to have.

Limitless variety of sites.

I wouldn't think about a hosting service that didn't let me host an unrestricted variety of sites for one regular monthly price under $10. I have a number of websites and I such as the adaptability of being able to construct more websites at no added expense (other than for registering the domain).

If you choose the Baby Strategy (this is the strategy I have) or Company Strategy, you can host as many sites on as lots of domain as you like. This is where making use of a hosting service like HostGator can conserve you a lot of cash in the long run against using a website builder or having a website designer host your internet sites. When you use a website contractor or have a website designer host your site, you'll usually pay extra for each additional internet site (or each additional batch of websites).

The downside of course, is you have to manage your very own hosting. Nevertheless, thankfully, this isn't really hard with the easy-to-use CPanel and technical support.

Domain registration.

You can quickly sign up domain names with HostGator. Absolutely nothing can be even worse than building a fantastic site and then to lose it all since you forgot to renew your domain name. It's possible then that somebody else registers your domain name and you can't get it once again.

All HostGator prepares offer limitless bandwidth.

This is good and you must require this with any website hosting service. I would rule out using a hosting service that didn't offer unrestricted bandwidth.

User friendly CPanel Control panel.

You handle your internet sites with HostGator in a dash panel referred to as a CPanel. The CPanel is an easy-to-use user interface to manage your internet sites and domains.

Easy website installment.

I specifically require with any hosting service that I utilize can set up WordPress with virtually a single click or a series of basic clicks. HostGator provides Fantastico De Luxe and QuickInstall choices for quickly setting up WordPress and numerous other scripts to build your site (i.e. Joomla and others).

Access to 4,500 website templates.

For any web designer, this is substantial. The templates are good. They are mostly HTML and Flash showcase design templates. You can select from over 115 categories. This is a great way to construct websites inexpensively for clients. You can look into these templates for yourself on the HostGator website without needing to sign up.

Free website home builders.

With an account, you can quickly build a site with one of 2 website home builders you get access to. The 2 site home builders are:.

Trendy Website Home builder, and.
Site Studio website home builder.

Note, you can just make use of the website contractors for one internet site on your account. Exactly what this suggests is if you get an account where you can host limitless domains, you can just develop one website with a website home builder.

E-mail accounts.

You get endless POP3 e-mail accounts with SMTP. Having e-mail accounts on your custom domain is more expert than a gmail or hotmail e-mail account.

45 day money back assure.

You can get your cash back if you cancel your account within 45 days if HostGator isn't really for you.

Video tutorials.

HostGator gives you access to various video tutorials that step you through many processes.

Client support.

You can access live customer support through the telephone and live chat. The operators for technical support know a lot about working in HostGator. Note, nevertheless, you won't get much help with particular scripts such as WordPress. If you have a concern about tailoring a WordPress style, HostGator will not aid you (I found this to be the case with Bluehost. What I do in these circumstances is inquire on my premium WordPress theme support online forum and/or do basic Google searches).

1 Criticism of HostGator.

I needed to call HostGator to verify my account upon opening it. This didn't take long, but it was an additional action. I would have preferred merely to sign up and get going without having to call them for verification.
