Abstract
The theme of this chapter is the use of Lie algebras in the structural analysis of affine algebraic groups over fields of characteristic 0. In addition to giving far more incisive results than the general structure theory, this Lie theory has the important feature that the basic general results hold over arbitrary, not necessarily algebraically closed fields of characteristic 0.
