  2. Direct sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum

    The xy-plane, a two-dimensional ... there is an external direct sum. For example, if the real ... The direct sum of group representations generalizes the direct sum ...

  3. Jordan algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_algebra

    Every formally real Jordan algebra can be written as a direct sum of so-called simple ones, which are not themselves direct sums in a nontrivial way. In finite dimensions, the simple formally real Jordan algebras come in four infinite families, together with one exceptional case: The Jordan algebra of n×n self-adjoint real matrices, as above.

  4. Direct product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_product

    The direct sum and the direct product are not isomorphic for infinite indices for which the elements of a direct sum are zero for all but for a finite number of entries. They are dual in the sense of category theory: the direct sum is the coproduct, and the direct product is the product.

  5. Linear subspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_subspace

    For example, the set of all vectors (x, y, z) (over real or rational numbers) satisfying the equations + + = + = is a one-dimensional subspace. More generally, that is to say that given a set of n independent functions, the dimension of the subspace in K k will be the dimension of the null set of A , the composite matrix of the n functions.

  6. Semisimple Lie algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisimple_Lie_algebra

    A connected Lie group is called semisimple if its Lie algebra is a semisimple Lie algebra, i.e. a direct sum of simple Lie algebras. It is called reductive if its Lie algebra is a direct sum of simple and trivial (one-dimensional) Lie algebras. Reductive groups occur naturally as symmetries of a number of mathematical objects in algebra ...

  7. Complemented subspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complemented_subspace

    In the branch of mathematics called functional analysis, a complemented subspace of a topological vector space, is a vector subspace for which there exists some other vector subspace of , called its (topological) complement in , such that is the direct sum in the category of topological vector spaces.

  8. Jordan normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_normal_form

    The result states that any M can be written as a sum D + N where D is semisimple, N is nilpotent, and DN = ND. This is called the Jordan–Chevalley decomposition. Whenever K contains the eigenvalues of M, in particular when K is algebraically closed, the normal form can be expressed explicitly as the direct sum of Jordan blocks.

  9. Direct product of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_product_of_groups

    Then the direct product R × R is the group of all two-component vectors (x, y) under the operation of vector addition: (x 1, y 1) + (x 2, y 2) = (x 1 + x 2, y 1 + y 2). Let R + be the group of positive real numbers under multiplication.
