| This is a glossary for the terminology applied in the mathematical theories of '''semisimple Lie groups'''. It also covers terms related to their [[Lie algebra]]s, their [[representation theory]], and various geometric, algebraic and combinatorial structures that occur in connection with the development of what is a central theory of contemporary mathematics.

| |
| * [[Adjoint representation]]
| |
| The adjoint representation of any Lie group is its action on its Lie algebra, derived from the conjugation action of the group on itself.
| |

| |
| An affine Lie algebra is a particular type of Kac-Moody algebra.

| * Dominant weight
| |
| The irreducible representations of a simply-connected compact Lie group are indexed by their highest weight. These ''dominant weights'' form the lattice points in an orthant in the weight lattice of the Lie group.

| |
| * Fundamental representation
| |
| For the irreducible representations of a simply-connected [[compact Lie group]] there exists a set of ''fundamental weights'', indexed by the vertices of the [[Dynkin diagram]] of G, such that ''dominant weights'' are simply non-negative integer linear combinations of the fundamental weights.
| |
| | |
| The corresponding irreducible representations are the ''fundamental representations'' of the Lie group. In particular, from the expansion of a dominant weight in terms of the fundamental weights, one can take a corresponding [[tensor product]] of the fundamental representations and extract one copy of the irreducible representation corresponding to that dominant weight.
| |
| | |
| In the case of the [[special unitary group]] ''SU''(''n''), the ''n'' − 1 fundamental representations are the wedge products
