An irreducible representation of a group is a group representation that has no nontrivial invariant subspaces. For example, the orthogonal group O(n) has an irreducible ...

A group action G×X->X is effective if there are no trivial actions. In particular, this means that there is no element of the group (besides the identity element) which does ...

The term external direct product is used to refer to either the external direct sum of groups under the group operation of multiplication, or over infinitely many spaces in ...

Two groups G and H are said to be isoclinic if there are isomorphisms G/Z(G)->H/Z(H) and G^'->H^', where Z(G) is the group center of the group, which identify the two ...

Suppose that E(G) (the commuting product of all components of G) is simple and G contains a semisimple group involution. Then there is some semisimple group involution x such ...

The underlying set of the fundamental group of X is the set of based homotopy classes from the circle to X, denoted [S^1,X]. For general spaces X and Y, there is no natural ...

The Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction is a generalized continued fraction defined by R(q)=(q^(1/5))/(1+q/(1+(q^2)/(1+(q^3)/(1+...)))) (1) (Rogers 1894, Ramanujan 1957, ...

An inner automorphism of a group G is an automorphism of the form phi(g)=h^(-1)gh, where h is a fixed element of G. An outer automorphism of G is an automorphism which cannot ...

Suppose that V is a group representation of G, and W is a group representation of H. Then the vector space tensor product V tensor W is a group representation of the group ...

For a finite group of h elements with an n_ith dimensional ith irreducible representation, sum_(i)n_i^2=h.
