Abstract
In this chapter we provide the reader with basic preliminary facts about Lie groups that we will be using in the sequel. At the same time, it gives us a chance to fix the notation for the rest of the monograph. The topics presented here are all wellknown and we decided to give a brief account without proofs referring the reader for more details to excellent sources where this material is treated from different points of view; for example, the monographs by Chevalley [Che99], Fegan [Feg91], Nomizu [Nom56], Pontryagin [Pon66], to mention only a few.
