Abstract
In this chapter we review the basic facts about real forms of reductive groups. Since our concern is entirely with local problems over ℝ, we have included proofs of several well-known results that are perhaps less familiar to experts on real groups. (The definitions, statements and some of the proofs have nevertheless been constructed with more general fields in mind.)
