  2. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    However, in group XIII (boron family), the electronegativity first decreases from boron to aluminium and then increases down the group. It is due to the fact that the atomic size increases as we move down the group, but at the same time the effective nuclear charge increases due to poor shielding of the inner d and f electrons.

  3. Character table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_table

    The irreducible complex characters of a finite group form a character table which encodes much useful information about the group G in a concise form. Each row is labelled by an irreducible character and the entries in the row are the values of that character on any representative of the respective conjugacy class of G (because characters are class functions).

    This series has the chemical formula X 2 H 6.Ethane is commonly found alongside methane in natural gas.The other hydrides of the chemical formula X 2 H 6 are less stable than the corresponding tetrahydrides XH 4, and they are more and more less stable as X goes from carbon (ethane C 2 H 6 is stable) down to lead (or flerovium) in the periodic table (diplumbane Pb 2 H 6 is unknown [1]).

  5. Character theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_theory

    The irreducible complex characters of a finite group form a character table which encodes much useful information about the group G in a compact form. Each row is labelled by an irreducible representation and the entries in the row are the characters of the representation on the respective conjugacy class of G .

  6. Superordinate goals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superordinate_goals

    In social psychology, superordinate goals are goals that are worth completing but require two or more social groups to cooperatively achieve. [1] The idea was proposed by social psychologist Muzafer Sherif in his experiments on intergroup relations, run in the 1940s and 1950s, as a way of reducing conflict between competing groups. [2]

  7. Reductive group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_group

    In particular, the multiplicative group G m is the group GL(1), and so its group G m (k) of k-rational points is the group k* of nonzero elements of k under multiplication. Another reductive group is the special linear group SL ( n ) over a field k , the subgroup of matrices with determinant 1.

  8. Restricted representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_representation

    The unitary group U(N) has irreducible representations labelled by signatures : where the f i are integers. In fact if a unitary matrix U has eigenvalues z i, then the character of the corresponding irreducible representation π f is given by

  9. Character group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_group

    In mathematics, a character group is the group of representations of an abelian group by complex-valued functions. These functions can be thought of as one-dimensional matrix representations and so are special cases of the group characters that arise in the related context of character theory .
