Frobenius Character Formula
In mathematics, specifically in representation theory, the Frobenius formula, introduced by G. Frobenius, computes the characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group ''S''''n''. Among the other applications, the formula can be used to derive the hook length formula. Statement Let \chi_\lambda be the character of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group S_n corresponding to a partition \lambda of ''n'': n = \lambda_1 + \cdots + \lambda_k and \ell_j = \lambda_j + k - j. For each partition \mu of ''n'', let C(\mu) denote the conjugacy class in S_n corresponding to it (cf. the example below), and let i_j denote the number of times ''j'' appears in \mu (so \Sigma \, i_j j = n). Then the Frobenius formula states that the constant value of \chi_\lambda on C(\mu), :\chi_\lambda(C(\mu)), is the coefficient of the monomial x_1^ \dots x_k^ in the homogeneous polynomial : \prod_ (x_i - x_j) \; \prod_j P_j(x_1, \dots, x_k)^, where P_j(x_1, \dots, x_k) = x_1^j ...

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 ...

Ferdinand Georg Frobenius
Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (26 October 1849 – 3 August 1917) was a German mathematician, best known for his contributions to the theory of elliptic functions, differential equations, number theory, and to group theory. He is known for the famous determinantal identities, known as Frobenius–Stickelberger formulae, governing elliptic functions, and for developing the theory of biquadratic forms. He was also the first to introduce the notion of rational approximations of functions (nowadays known as Padé approximants), and gave the first full proof for the Cayley–Hamilton theorem. He also lent his name to certain differential-geometric objects in modern mathematical physics, known as Frobenius manifolds. Biography Ferdinand Georg Frobenius was born on 26 October 1849 in Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin from parents Christian Ferdinand Frobenius, a Protestant parson, and Christine Elizabeth Friedrich. He entered the Joachimsthal Gymnasium in 1860 when he was nearly eleven. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Character Theory
In mathematics, more specifically in group theory, the character of a group representation is a function on the group that associates to each group element the trace of the corresponding matrix. The character carries the essential information about the representation in a more condensed form. Georg Frobenius initially developed representation theory of finite groups entirely based on the characters, and without any explicit matrix realization of representations themselves. This is possible because a complex representation of a finite group is determined (up to isomorphism) by its character. The situation with representations over a field of positive characteristic, so-called "modular representations", is more delicate, but Richard Brauer developed a powerful theory of characters in this case as well. Many deep theorems on the structure of finite groups use characters of modular representations. Applications Characters of irreducible representations encode many important propert ...

Symmetric Group
In abstract algebra, the symmetric group defined over any set is the group whose elements are all the bijections from the set to itself, and whose group operation is the composition of functions. In particular, the finite symmetric group \mathrm_n defined over a finite set of n symbols consists of the permutations that can be performed on the n symbols. Since there are n! (n factorial) such permutation operations, the order (number of elements) of the symmetric group \mathrm_n is n!. Although symmetric groups can be defined on infinite sets, this article focuses on the finite symmetric groups: their applications, their elements, their conjugacy classes, a finite presentation, their subgroups, their automorphism groups, and their representation theory. For the remainder of this article, "symmetric group" will mean a symmetric group on a finite set. The symmetric group is important to diverse areas of mathematics such as Galois theory, invariant theory, the representatio ...

Hook Length Formula
In combinatorial mathematics, the hook length formula is a formula for the number of standard Young tableaux whose shape is a given Young diagram. It has applications in diverse areas such as representation theory, probability, and algorithm analysis; for example, the problem of longest increasing subsequences. A related formula gives the number of semi-standard Young tableaux, which is a specialization of a Schur polynomial. Definitions and statement Let \lambda=(\lambda_1\geq \cdots\geq \lambda_k) be a partition of n=\lambda_1+\cdots+\lambda_k. It is customary to interpret \lambda graphically as a Young diagram, namely a left-justified array of square cells with k rows of lengths \lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k. A (standard) Young tableau of shape \lambda is a filling of the n cells of the Young diagram with all the integers \, with no repetition, such that each row and each column form increasing sequences. For the cell in position (i,j), in the ith row and jth column, the hook H_ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conjugacy Class
In mathematics, especially group theory, two elements a and b of a group are conjugate if there is an element g in the group such that b = gag^. This is an equivalence relation whose equivalence classes are called conjugacy classes. In other words, each conjugacy class is closed under b = gag^. for all elements g in the group. Members of the same conjugacy class cannot be distinguished by using only the group structure, and therefore share many properties. The study of conjugacy classes of non-abelian groups is fundamental for the study of their structure. For an abelian group, each conjugacy class is a set containing one element (singleton set). Functions that are constant for members of the same conjugacy class are called class functions. Definition Let G be a group. Two elements a, b \in G are conjugate if there exists an element g \in G such that gag^ = b, in which case b is called of a and a is called a conjugate of b. In the case of the general linear group \operatorna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Power Sum
In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: * Sums of squares arise in many contexts. For example, in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem involves the sum of two squares; in number theory, there are Legendre's three-square theorem and Jacobi's four-square theorem; and in statistics, the analysis of variance involves summing the squares of quantities. *Faulhaber's formula expresses 1^k + 2^k + 3^k + \cdots + n^k as a polynomial in ''n'', or alternatively in term of a Bernoulli polynomial. *Fermat's right triangle theorem states that there is no solution in positive integers for a^2=b^4+c^4 and a^4=b^4+c^2. *Fermat's Last Theorem states that x^k+y^k=z^k is impossible in positive integers with ''k''>2. *The equation of a superellipse is , x/a, ^k+, y/b, ^k=1. The squircle is the case k=4, a=b. *Euler's sum of powers conjecture (disproved) concerns situations in which the sum of ''n'' integers, each a ''k''th power of an integer, equals another ''k''th po ...

Young's Rule
Young's (Young & Co.'s Brewery Plc) is a British pub chain operating nearly 220 pubs. The company was founded as a brewery in 1831 by Charles Young and Anthony Bainbridge when they purchased the Ram Brewery in Wandsworth. The company closed the Ram Brewery in 2006, and the brewing operation was transferred to a new company, Wells & Young's Brewing Company Ltd, which was a joint brewing venture with Charles Wells Brewery. Young's held 40% of the shares in the new company until the sale of its stake to Charles Wells was announced in August 2011. There is a rolling contract for Young's to take beers produced by Wells & Young's and now by Marston's after it took over the Eagle Brewery in Bedford, an operation now called Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company. Until its closure in 2006, the company's Ram Brewery in Wandsworth was claimed to be Britain's oldest brewing site in continuous operation, with a history dating back to the 1550s when a Humphrey Langridge, "beer-brewer at Wan ...

Q-analog
In mathematics, a ''q''-analog of a theorem, identity or expression is a generalization involving a new parameter ''q'' that returns the original theorem, identity or expression in the limit as . Typically, mathematicians are interested in ''q''-analogs that arise naturally, rather than in arbitrarily contriving ''q''-analogs of known results. The earliest ''q''-analog studied in detail is the basic hypergeometric series, which was introduced in the 19th century.Exton, H. (1983), ''q-Hypergeometric Functions and Applications'', New York: Halstead Press, Chichester: Ellis Horwood, 1983, , , ''q''-analogues are most frequently studied in the mathematical fields of combinatorics and special functions. In these settings, the limit is often formal, as is often discrete-valued (for example, it may represent a prime power). ''q''-analogs find applications in a number of areas, including the study of fractals and multi-fractal measures, and expressions for the entropy of chaotic ...

Representation Theory Of Symmetric Groups
In mathematics, the representation theory of the symmetric group is a particular case of the representation theory of finite groups, for which a concrete and detailed theory can be obtained. This has a large area of potential applications, from symmetric function theory to quantum chemistry studies of atoms, molecules and solids. The symmetric group S''n'' has order ''n''!. Its conjugacy classes are labeled by partitions of ''n''. Therefore according to the representation theory of a finite group, the number of inequivalent irreducible representations, over the complex numbers, is equal to the number of partitions of ''n''. Unlike the general situation for finite groups, there is in fact a natural way to parametrize irreducible representations by the same set that parametrizes conjugacy classes, namely by partitions of ''n'' or equivalently Young diagrams of size ''n''. Each such irreducible representation can in fact be realized over the integers (every permutation acting by a mat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
