Unitary divisor In mathematics, a natural number ''a'' is a unitary divisor (or Hall divisor) of a number ''b'' if ''a'' is a divisor of ''b'' and if ''a'' and \frac are coprime, having no common factor other than 1. Thus, 5 is a unitary divisor of 60, because 5 an ...
*
Unitary element In mathematics, an element ''x'' of a *-algebra is unitary if it satisfies x^* = x^. In functional analysis, a linear operator ''A'' from a Hilbert space into itself is called unitary if it is invertible and its inverse is equal to its own a ...
*
Unitary group In mathematics, the unitary group of degree ''n'', denoted U(''n''), is the group of unitary matrices, with the group operation of matrix multiplication. The unitary group is a subgroup of the general linear group . Hyperorthogonal group is ...
*
Unitary matrix In linear algebra, a complex square matrix is unitary if its conjugate transpose is also its inverse, that is, if U^* U = UU^* = UU^ = I, where is the identity matrix. In physics, especially in quantum mechanics, the conjugate transpose is ...
*
Unitary morphism In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a dagger category (also called involutive category or category with involution) is a category equipped with a certain structure called ''dagger'' or ''involution''. The name dagger category was coined b ...
*
Unitary operator In functional analysis, a unitary operator is a surjective bounded operator on a Hilbert space that preserves the inner product. Unitary operators are usually taken as operating ''on'' a Hilbert space, but the same notion serves to define the co ...
*
Unitary transformation In mathematics, a unitary transformation is a transformation that preserves the inner product: the inner product of two vectors before the transformation is equal to their inner product after the transformation. Formal definition More precisely, ...
*
Unitary representation In mathematics, a unitary representation of a group ''G'' is a linear representation π of ''G'' on a complex Hilbert space ''V'' such that π(''g'') is a unitary operator for every ''g'' ∈ ''G''. The general theory is well-developed in case ''G ...
*
Unitarity (physics) In quantum physics, unitarity is the condition that the time evolution of a quantum state according to the Schrödinger equation is mathematically represented by a unitary operator. This is typically taken as an axiom or basic postulate of quant ...

*
Unitary authority A unitary authority is a local authority responsible for all local government functions within its area or performing additional functions that elsewhere are usually performed by a higher level of sub-national government or the national governmen ...
*
Unitary state A unitary state is a sovereign state governed as a single entity in which the central government is the supreme authority. The central government may create (or abolish) administrative divisions (sub-national units). Such units exercise only th ...
