In (3), Chevalley constructed, for every field K and every semi-simple Lie algebra g over the complex number field, a group GK(g) by using a system of root vectors Xr which satisfies a certain condition (more precisely, (1.2) in Section 1). The main point of Chevalley's construction lies in the fact that the above-mentioned root vectors furnish a basis of g such that, for every root r, exp(t ad Xr) is represented by a matrix (Aij(t)) whose entries Aij(t) are polynomials in t with integral coefficients.
