The differential geometry software package in Maple has the necessary tools and commands to automate the classification process for complex simple Lie algebras. The purpose of this thesis is to write the programs to complete the classification for real simple Lie algebras. This classification is difficult because the Cartan subalgebras are not all conjugate as they are in the complex case. For the process of the real classification, one must first identify a maximally noncompact Cartan subalgebra. The process of the Cayley transform is used to find this specific Cartan subalgebra. This Cartan subalgebra is used to find the simple roots for the given real simple Lie algebra. With this information, we can then create a Satake diagram. Then we match our given algebra's Satake diagram to a Satake diagram of a known algebra. The programs explained in this thesis complete this process of classification.

A dissertação tem como tema as álgebras de Lie. Especificamente álgebras de Lie semi-simples e suas propriedades . Para encontramos essas propriedades estudamos os conceitos básicos da teoria das álgebras de Lie e suas representações. Então fizemos a classificação dessas álgebras por diagramas de Dynkin explicitando quais os possíveis diagramas que são associados a uma álgebra de Lie semi-simples. Por fim, demonstramos vários resultados concernentes a essa classificação, dentre esses, o principal resultado demonstrado foi: os diagramas de Dynkin são um invariante completo das álgebras de Lie semi-simples / The dissertation has the theme Lie algebras. Specifically semi-simple Lie algebras and its properties. To find these properties we studied the basic concepts of the theory of Lie algebras and their representations. Then we did the classification by Dynkin diagrams of these algebras and explaining the possible diagrams that are associated with a semi-simple Lie algebra. Finally, we demonstrate several results related to this classification, among these, the main result demonstrated was: the Dynkin diagrams are a complete invariant of semi-simple Lie algebras

Dans cette thèse je m'intéresse à des propriétés de rigidité de certaines constructions d'algèbres de von Neumann. Ces constructions relient la théorie des groupes et la théorie ergodique au monde des algèbres d'opérateurs. Il est donc naturel de s'interroger sur la force de ce lien et sur la possibilité d'un enrichissement mutuel dans ces différents domaines. Le Chapitre II traite des actions Gaussiennes. Ce sont des actions de groupes discrets préservant une mesure de probabilité qui généralisent les actions de Bernoulli. Dans un premier temps, j'étudie les propriétés d'ergodicité de ces actions à partir d'une analyse de leurs algèbres de von Neumann (voir Theorem II.1.22 et Corollary II.2.16). Ensuite, je classifie les algèbres de von Neumann associées à certaines actions Gaussiennes, à isomorphisme près, en montrant un résultat de W*-Superrigidité (Theorem II.4.5). Ces résultats généralisent des travaux analogues sur les actions de Bernoulli ([KT08,CI10,Io11,IPV13]).Dans le Chapitre III, j'étudie les produits libres amalgamés d'algèbres de von Neumann. Ce chapitre résulte d'une collaboration avec C. Houdayer et S. Raum. Nous analysons les sous-Algèbres de Cartan de tels produits libres amalgamés. Nous déduisons notamment de notre analyse que le produit libre de deux algèbres de von Neumann n'est jamais obtenu à partir d'une action d'un groupe sur un espace mesuré.Enfin, le Chapitre IV porte sur les algèbres de von Neumann associées à des groupes hyperboliques. Ce chapitre est obtenu en collaboration avec A. Carderi. Nous utilisons la géométrie des groupes hyperboliques pour fournir de nouveaux exemples de sous-Algèbres maximales moyennables (mais de type I) dans des facteurs II_1. / The purpose of this dissertation is to put on light rigidity properties of several constructions of von Neumann algebras. These constructions relate group theory and ergodic theory to operator algebras.In Chapter II, we study von Neumann algebras associated with measure-Preserving actions of discrete groups: Gaussian actions. These actions are somehow a generalization of Bernoulli actions. We have two goals in this chapter. The first goal is to use the von Neumann algebra associated with an action as a tool to deduce properties of the initial action (see Corollary II.2.16). The second aim is to prove structural results and classification results for von Neumann algebras associated with Gaussian actions. The most striking rigidity result of the chapter is Theorem II.4.5, which states that in some cases the von Neumann algebra associated with a Gaussian action entirely remembers the action, up to conjugacy. Our results generalize similar results for Bernoulli actions ([KT08,CI10,Io11,IPV13]).In Chapter III, we study amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras. The content of this chapter is obtained in collaboration with C. Houdayer and S. Raum. We investigate Cartan subalgebras in such amalgamated free products. In particular, we deduce that the free product of two von Neumann algebras is never obtained as a group-Measure space construction of a non-Singular action of a discrete countable group on a measured space.Finally, Chapter IV is concerned with von Neumann algebras associated with hyperbolic groups. The content of this chapter is obtained in collaboration with A. Carderi. We use the geometry of hyperbolic groups to provide new examples of maximal amenable (and yet type I) subalgebras in type II_1 factors.
