The infinitesimal algebraic object associated with a Lie groupoid. A Lie algebroid over a manifold B is a vector bundle A over B with a Lie algebra structure [,] (Lie ...

In an exterior algebra ^ V, a top-dimensional form has degree n where n=dimV. Any form of higher degree must be zero. For example, if V=R^4 then alpha=e_1 ^ e_2 ^ e_3 ^ e_4 ...

There are at least two statements known as Schur's lemma. 1. The endomorphism ring of an irreducible module is a division algebra. 2. Let V, W be irreducible (linear) ...

A proving technique in homological algebra which consists in looking for equivalent map compositions in commutative diagrams, and in exploiting the properties of injective, ...

Let pi be a unitary representation of a group G on a separable Hilbert space, and let R(pi) be the smallest weakly closed algebra of bounded linear operators containing all ...

Let M be a sigma-algebra M, and let lambda_1 and lambda_2 be measures on M. If there exists a pair of disjoint sets A and B such that lambda_1 is concentrated on A and ...

A bounded left approximate identity for a normed algebra A is a bounded net {e_alpha}_(alpha in I) with the property lim_(alpha)e_alphaa=a for a in A. Bounded right and ...

Let mu be a positive measure on a sigma-algebra M, and let lambda be an arbitrary (real or complex) measure on M. If there is a set A in M such that lambda(E)=lambda(A ...

An approximate unit for a C^*-algebra A is an increasing net {u_lambda}_(lambda in Lambda) of positive elements in the closed unit ball of A such that a=lim_(lambda)au_lambda ...

Let A be a commutative complex Banach algebra. The space of all characters on A is called the maximal ideal space (or character space) of A. This space equipped with the ...
