Lie’s classification of finite dimensional algebras of Vector Fields in CN
Abstract
Brief proofs of classical results of Lie on finite dimensional subalgebras of vector fields in two and three variables are outlined. The results for algebras of maximal rank for vector fields in CN — N arbitrary — are also given.
