An Overview of Lie Methods for Accelerator Physics

This talk will sketch how Hamiltonian mechanics can be formulated in Lie algebraic terms (indeed Poisson and Jacobi almost invented Lie algebras without knowing it), and how this formulation can be applied to the description and computation of particle orbits in accelerators in a way that both unifies both linear and nonlinear theory and leads to explicit results for realistic machines.
