Crystal Basis
A crystal base for a representation of a quantum group on a \Q(v)-vector space is not a base of that vector space but rather a \Q-base of L/vL where L is a \Q(v)-lattice in that vector spaces. Crystal bases appeared in the work of and also in the work of . They can be viewed as specializations as v \to 0 of the canonical basis defined by . Definition As a consequence of its defining relations, the quantum group U_q(G) can be regarded as a Hopf algebra over the field of all rational functions of an indeterminate ''q'' over \Q, denoted \Q(q). For simple root \alpha_i and non-negative integer n, define :\begin e_i^ = f_i^ &= 1 \\ e_i^ &= \frac \\ ptf_i^ &= \frac \end In an integrable module M, and for weight \lambda, a vector u \in M_ (i.e. a vector u in M with weight \lambda) can be uniquely decomposed into the sums :u = \sum_^\infty f_i^ u_n = \sum_^\infty e_i^ v_n, where u_n \in \ker(e_i) \cap M_, v_n \in \ker(f_i) \cap M_, u_n \ne 0 only if n + \frac \ge 0, and v_n \ne 0 ...

Canonical Basis
In mathematics, a canonical basis is a basis of an algebraic structure that is canonical in a sense that depends on the precise context: * In a coordinate space, and more generally in a free module, it refers to the standard basis defined by the Kronecker delta. * In a polynomial ring, it refers to its standard basis given by the monomials, (X^i)_i. * For finite extension fields, it means the polynomial basis. * In linear algebra, it refers to a set of ''n'' linearly independent generalized eigenvectors of an ''n''×''n'' matrix A, if the set is composed entirely of Jordan chains. * In representation theory, it refers to the basis of the quantum groups introduced by Lusztig. Representation theory The canonical basis for the irreducible representations of a quantized enveloping algebra of type ADE and also for the plus part of that algebra was introduced by Lusztig by two methods: an algebraic one (using a braid group action and PBW bases) and a topological one (using intersection ...

Graph (discrete Mathematics)
In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a graph is a structure amounting to a Set (mathematics), set of objects in which some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related". The objects correspond to mathematical abstractions called ''Vertex (graph theory), vertices'' (also called ''nodes'' or ''points'') and each of the related pairs of vertices is called an ''edge'' (also called ''link'' or ''line''). Typically, a graph is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots or circles for the vertices, joined by lines or curves for the edges. Graphs are one of the objects of study in discrete mathematics. The edges may be directed or undirected. For example, if the vertices represent people at a party, and there is an edge between two people if they shake hands, then this graph is undirected because any person ''A'' can shake hands with a person ''B'' only if ''B'' also shakes hands with ''A''. In contrast, if an edge from a person ''A'' to a person ''B'' m ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs. The society is one of the four parts of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics and a member of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. History The AMS was founded in 1888 as the New York Mathematical Society, the brainchild of Thomas Fiske, who was impressed by the London Mathematical Society on a visit to England. John Howard Van Amringe was the first president and Fiske became secretary. The society soon decided to publish a journal, but ran into some resistance, due to concerns about competing with the American Journal of Mathematics. The result was the ''Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society'', with Fiske as editor-in-chief. The de facto journal, as intended, was influential in in ...

Lie Algebras
In mathematics, a Lie algebra (pronounced ) is a vector space \mathfrak g together with an operation called the Lie bracket, an alternating bilinear map \mathfrak g \times \mathfrak g \rightarrow \mathfrak g, that satisfies the Jacobi identity. The Lie bracket of two vectors x and y is denoted ,y/math>. The vector space \mathfrak g together with this operation is a non-associative algebra, meaning that the Lie bracket is not necessarily associative. Lie algebras are closely related to Lie groups, which are groups that are also smooth manifolds: any Lie group gives rise to a Lie algebra, which is its tangent space at the identity. Conversely, to any finite-dimensional Lie algebra over real or complex numbers, there is a corresponding connected Lie group unique up to finite coverings (Lie's third theorem). This correspondence allows one to study the structure and classification of Lie groups in terms of Lie algebras. In physics, Lie groups appear as symmetry groups of ph ...

Representation Theory
Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by ''representing'' their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules over these abstract algebraic structures. In essence, a representation makes an abstract algebraic object more concrete by describing its elements by matrices and their algebraic operations (for example, matrix addition, matrix multiplication). The theory of matrices and linear operators is well-understood, so representations of more abstract objects in terms of familiar linear algebra objects helps glean properties and sometimes simplify calculations on more abstract theories. The algebraic objects amenable to such a description include groups, associative algebras and Lie algebras. The most prominent of these (and historically the first) is the representation theory of groups, in which elements of a group are represented by invertible matrices in such a way that the group operation i ...
