I'm trying to read Serre's book on Lie algebras and have run into something I can't figure out. Luckily it's on google books so I'll just post a link to the point in question:

http://books.google.com/books?id=ha...&q="principle of lifting invariants"&f=false"

What the heck is the principle of lifting invariants? I can't find anything useful on google easily, and attempts to just prove the result myself fall short (I'm not even sure what the hypothesis is supposed to be, or what the principle is supposed to state exactly). Any illumination would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunately it is hard to read, esp. whether and if so what ##s## is. Lifting in the context of exact sequences normally refers to a process of recovering something in opposite direction. Here we consider a preimage under the surjective transformation, and possibly whether it is already in the submodule.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
