Abstract
In this chapter, we first discuss the generalities on algebraic groups — the Lie algebra of an algebraic group, Jordan decomposition in an algebraic group, etc. We then discuss the structure theory of connected solvable groups. We also introduce the variety of Borel subgroups. For details, refer to [5, 25].
