Einstein group

Albert Einstein, in searching for the transformation group for his unified field theory, wrote: Every attempt to establish a unified field theory must start, in my opinion, from a group of transformations which is no less general than that of the continuous transformations of the four coordinates. For we should hardly be successful in looking for the subsequent enlargement of the group for a theory based on a narrower group. (Wikipedia).

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Definition of a group Lesson 24

In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el

GT2. Definition of Subgroup

Abstract Algebra: We define the notion of a subgroup and provide various examples. We also consider cyclic subgroups and subgroups generated by subsets in a given group G. Example include A4 and D8. U.Reddit course materials available at http://ureddit.com/class/23794/intro-to-group-

What is a Group? | Abstract Algebra

Welcome to group theory! In today's lesson we'll be going over the definition of a group. We'll see the four group axioms in action with some examples, and some non-examples as well which violate the axioms and are thus not groups. In a fundamental way, groups are structures built from s

Center of a group in abstract algebra

After the previous video where we saw that two of the elements in the dihedral group in six elements commute with all the elements in the group, we finally get to define the center of a group. The center of a group is a subgroup and in this video we also go through the proof to show this.

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)

Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Ramiro Lafuente: Non-compact Einstein manifolds with symmetry

Abstract: In this talk we will discuss recent joint work in collaboration with Christoph Böhm in which we obtain structure results for non-compact Einstein manifolds admitting a cocompact isometric action of a connected Lie group. As an application, we prove the Alekseevskii conjecture (19

Rod Gover - Geometric Compactification, Cartan holonomy, and asymptotics

Conformal compactification has long been recognised as an effective geometric framework for relating conformal geometry, and associated field theories « at infinity », to the asymptotic phenomena of an interior (pseudo‐)‐Riemannian geometry of one higher dimension. It provides an effective
