In this talk we will discuss, in a very naïve way, different versions of the Cayley transform:
- The original version for matrices as appeared in a paper by Arthur Cayley in 1846.
- The geometric version between the Poincaré disk and the Poincaré half-plane.
- Its generalization to bounded symmetric domains and generalized half-planes.
- The role played in the classification of real semisimple Lie algebras.
- And the generalized Cayley correspondence in the recent theory of G-Higgs bundles.
