The infinite general linear group or stable general linear group is the direct limit of the inclusions GL(n, F) → GL(n + 1, F) as the upper left block matrix. It is denoted by either GL(F) or GL(∞, F), and can also be interpreted as invertible infinite matrices which differ from the identity matrix in only finitely many places. [12]
A group G is said to be linear if there exists a field K, an integer d and an injective homomorphism from G to the general linear group GL d (K) (a faithful linear representation of dimension d over K): if needed one can mention the field and dimension by saying that G is linear of degree d over K.
Conjugation is an action by automorphisms, i.e., it commutes with the group structure, and this induces linear actions on naturally derived objects, such as its Lie algebra, and the algebra of left-invariant differential operators. An S-group scheme G is commutative if the group G(T) is an abelian group for all S-schemes T. There are several ...
Given the affine group of an affine space A, the stabilizer of a point p is isomorphic to the general linear group of the same dimension (so the stabilizer of a point in Aff(2, R) is isomorphic to GL(2, R)); formally, it is the general linear group of the vector space (A, p): recall that if one fixes a point, an affine space becomes a vector space.
In mathematics, especially in the group theoretic area of algebra, the projective linear group (also known as the projective general linear group or PGL) is the induced action of the general linear group of a vector space V on the associated projective space P(V). Explicitly, the projective linear group is the quotient group. PGL(V) = GL(V) / Z(V)
The general linear group GL n (R) is the group of all R-linear automorphisms of R n. There is a subgroup: the special linear group SL n (R), and their quotients: the projective general linear group PGL n (R) = GL n (R)/Z(GL n (R)) and the projective special linear group PSL n (R) = SL n (R)/Z(SL n (R)).
The mirabolic subgroup is used to define the Kirillov model of a representation of the general linear group. As an example, the group of all matrices of the form ( a b 0 1 ) {\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\0&1\end{pmatrix}}} where a is a nonzero element of the field k and b is any element of k is a mirabolic subgroup of the 2-dimensional ...
In mathematics, the special linear group SL(n, R) of degree n over a commutative ring R is the set of n × n matrices with determinant 1, with the group operations of ordinary matrix multiplication and matrix inversion. This is the normal subgroup of the general linear group given by the kernel of the determinant
