Restricted Lie Algebra
In mathematics, a restricted Lie algebra is a Lie algebra together with an additional "''p'' operation." Definition Let ''L'' be a Lie algebra over a field ''k'' of characteristic ''p>0''. A ''p'' operation on ''L'' is a map X \mapsto X^ satisfying * \mathrm(X^) = \mathrm(X)^p for all X \in L, * (tX)^ = t^pX^ for all t \in k, X \in L, * (X+Y)^ = X^ + Y^ + \sum_^ \frac, for all X,Y \in L, where s_i(X,Y) is the coefficient of t^ in the formal expression \mathrm(tX+Y)^(X). If the characteristic of ''k'' is 0, then ''L'' is a restricted Lie algebra where the ''p'' operation is the identity map. Examples For any associative algebra ''A'' defined over a field of characteristic ''p'', the bracket operation ,Y:= XY-YX and ''p'' operation X^ := X^p make ''A'' into a restricted Lie algebra \mathrm(A). Let ''G'' be an algebraic group over a field k of characteristic ''p'', and \mathrm(G) be the Zariski tangent space at the identity element of ''G''. Each element of \mathrm(G) uniquely def ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Lie Algebra
In mathematics, a Lie algebra (pronounced ) is a vector space \mathfrak g together with an Binary operation, operation called the Lie bracket, an Alternating multilinear map, 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 [x,y]. The vector space \mathfrak g together with this operation is a non-associative algebra, meaning that the Lie bracket is not necessarily associative property, associative. Lie algebras are closely related to Lie groups, which are group (mathematics), 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 space, connected Lie group unique up to finite coverings (Lie's third theorem). This Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence, correspondence allows one ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zariski Tangent Space
In algebraic geometry, the Zariski tangent space is a construction that defines a tangent space at a point ''P'' on an algebraic variety ''V'' (and more generally). It does not use differential calculus, being based directly on abstract algebra, and in the most concrete cases just the theory of a system of linear equations. Motivation For example, suppose given a plane curve ''C'' defined by a polynomial equation :''F''(''X,Y'') ''= 0'' and take ''P'' to be the origin (0,0). Erasing terms of higher order than 1 would produce a 'linearised' equation reading :''L''(''X,Y'') ''= 0'' in which all terms ''XaYb'' have been discarded if ''a + b > 1''. We have two cases: ''L'' may be 0, or it may be the equation of a line. In the first case the (Zariski) tangent space to ''C'' at (0,0) is the whole plane, considered as a two-dimensional affine space. In the second case, the tangent space is that line, considered as affine space. (The question of the origin comes up, when we take ''P' ...

Lie Group
In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced ) is a group that is also a differentiable manifold. A manifold is a space that locally resembles Euclidean space, whereas groups define the abstract concept of a binary operation along with the additional properties it must have to be thought of as a "transformation" in the abstract sense, for instance multiplication and the taking of inverses (division), or equivalently, the concept of addition and the taking of inverses (subtraction). Combining these two ideas, one obtains a continuous group where multiplying points and their inverses are continuous. If the multiplication and taking of inverses are smooth (differentiable) as well, one obtains a Lie group. Lie groups provide a natural model for the concept of continuous symmetry, a celebrated example of which is the rotational symmetry in three dimensions (given by the special orthogonal group \text(3)). Lie groups are widely used in many parts of modern mathematics and physics. Lie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Frobenius Map
In commutative algebra and field theory, the Frobenius endomorphism (after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius) is a special endomorphism of commutative rings with prime characteristic , an important class which includes finite fields. The endomorphism maps every element to its -th power. In certain contexts it is an automorphism, but this is not true in general. Definition Let be a commutative ring with prime characteristic (an integral domain of positive characteristic always has prime characteristic, for example). The Frobenius endomorphism ''F'' is defined by :F(r) = r^p for all ''r'' in ''R''. It respects the multiplication of ''R'': :F(rs) = (rs)^p = r^ps^p = F(r)F(s), and is 1 as well. Moreover, it also respects the addition of . The expression can be expanded using the binomial theorem. Because is prime, it divides but not any for ; it therefore will divide the numerator, but not the denominator, of the explicit formula of the binomial coefficients :\frac, if . T ...

Left Adjoint
In mathematics, specifically category theory, adjunction is a relationship that two functors may exhibit, intuitively corresponding to a weak form of equivalence between two related categories. Two functors that stand in this relationship are known as adjoint functors, one being the left adjoint and the other the right adjoint. Pairs of adjoint functors are ubiquitous in mathematics and often arise from constructions of "optimal solutions" to certain problems (i.e., constructions of objects having a certain universal property), such as the construction of a free group on a set in algebra, or the construction of the Stone–Čech compactification of a topological space in topology. By definition, an adjunction between categories \mathcal and \mathcal is a pair of functors (assumed to be covariant) :F: \mathcal \rightarrow \mathcal and G: \mathcal \rightarrow \mathcal and, for all objects X in \mathcal and Y in \mathcal a bijection between the respective morphism s ...

Universal Enveloping Algebra
In mathematics, the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra is the unital associative algebra whose representations correspond precisely to the representations of that Lie algebra. Universal enveloping algebras are used in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. For example, Verma modules can be constructed as quotients of the universal enveloping algebra. In addition, the enveloping algebra gives a precise definition for the Casimir operators. Because Casimir operators commute with all elements of a Lie algebra, they can be used to classify representations. The precise definition also allows the importation of Casimir operators into other areas of mathematics, specifically, those that have a differential algebra. They also play a central role in some recent developments in mathematics. In particular, their dual provides a commutative example of the objects studied in non-commutative geometry, the quantum groups. This dual can be shown, by the Gelfand–N ...

Nathan Jacobson
Nathan Jacobson (October 5, 1910 – December 5, 1999) was an American mathematician. Biography Born Nachman Arbiser in Warsaw, Jacobson emigrated to America with his family in 1918. He graduated from the University of Alabama in 1930 and was awarded a doctorate in mathematics from Princeton University in 1934. While working on his thesis, ''Non-commutative polynomials and cyclic algebras'', he was advised by Joseph Wedderburn. Jacobson taught and researched at Bryn Mawr College (1935–1936), the University of Chicago (1936–1937), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1937–1943), and Johns Hopkins University (1943–1947) before joining Yale University in 1947. He remained at Yale until his retirement. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He served as president of the American Mathematical Society from 1971 to 1973, and was awarded their highest honour, the Leroy P. Steele prize for lifetime achievement, ...

Purely Inseparable Extension
In algebra, a purely inseparable extension of fields is an extension ''k'' ⊆ ''K'' of fields of characteristic ''p'' > 0 such that every element of ''K'' is a root of an equation of the form ''x''''q'' = ''a'', with ''q'' a power of ''p'' and ''a'' in ''k''. Purely inseparable extensions are sometimes called radicial extensions, which should not be confused with the similar-sounding but more general notion of radical extensions. Purely inseparable extensions An algebraic extension E\supseteq F is a ''purely inseparable extension'' if and only if for every \alpha\in E\setminus F, the minimal polynomial of \alpha over ''F'' is ''not'' a separable polynomial.Isaacs, p. 298 If ''F'' is any field, the trivial extension F\supseteq F is purely inseparable; for the field ''F'' to possess a ''non-trivial'' purely inseparable extension, it must be imperfect as outlined in the above section.

Graduate Texts In Mathematics
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the top of the book. The books in this series tend to be written at a more advanced level than the similar Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and difficulty level.
