  2. Lattice (group) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(group)

    In geometry and group theory, a lattice in the real coordinate space is an infinite set of points in this space with the properties that coordinate-wise addition or subtraction of two points in the lattice produces another lattice point, that the lattice points are all separated by some minimum distance, and that every point in the space is within some maximum distance of a lattice point.

  3. Lattice (discrete subgroup) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(discrete_subgroup)

    Let be a locally compact group and a discrete subgroup (this means that there exists a neighbourhood of the identity element of such that = {}).Then is called a lattice in if in addition there exists a Borel measure on the quotient space / which is finite (i.e. (/) < +) and -invariant (meaning that for any and any open subset / the equality () = is satisfied).

  4. Join and meet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_and_meet

    A partially ordered set that is both a join-semilattice and a meet-semilattice is a lattice. A lattice in which every subset, not just every pair, possesses a meet and a join is a complete lattice. It is also possible to define a partial lattice, in which not all pairs have a meet or join but the operations (when defined) satisfy certain axioms ...

  5. Group theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_theory

    Examples of the use of groups in physics include the Standard Model, gauge theory, the Lorentz group, and the Poincaré group. Group theory can be used to resolve the incompleteness of the statistical interpretations of mechanics developed by Willard Gibbs , relating to the summing of an infinite number of probabilities to yield a meaningful ...

  6. Lattice of subgroups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_of_subgroups

    Lattice-theoretic information about the lattice of subgroups can sometimes be used to infer information about the original group, an idea that goes back to the work of Øystein Ore (1937, 1938). For instance, as Ore proved , a group is locally cyclic if and only if its lattice of subgroups is distributive .

  7. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    Galois theory has been used to solve classic problems including showing that two problems of antiquity cannot be solved as they were stated (doubling the cube and trisecting the angle), and characterizing the regular polygons that are constructible (this characterization was previously given by Gauss but without the proof that the list of ...

  8. Kazhdan's property (T) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazhdan's_property_(T)

    Kazhdan's theorem: If Γ is a lattice in a Lie group G then Γ has property (T) if and only if G has property (T). Thus for n ≥ 3, the special linear group SL( n , Z ) has property (T). Examples

  9. List of group theory topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_group_theory_topics

    In mathematics and abstract algebra, group theory studies the algebraic structures known as groups.The concept of a group is central to abstract algebra: other well-known algebraic structures, such as rings, fields, and vector spaces, can all be seen as groups endowed with additional operations and axioms.
