Download or read book Theory of Transformation Groups I written by Sophus Lie and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This modern translation of Sophus Lie's and Friedrich Engel's “Theorie der Transformationsgruppen I” will allow readers to discover the striking conceptual clarity and remarkably systematic organizational thought of the original German text. Volume I presents a comprehensive introduction to the theory and is mainly directed towards the generalization of ideas drawn from the study of examples. The major part of the present volume offers an extremely clear translation of the lucid original. The first four chapters provide not only a translation, but also a contemporary approach, which will help present day readers to familiarize themselves with the concepts at the heart of the subject. The editor's main objective was to encourage a renewed interest in the detailed classification of Lie algebras in dimensions 1, 2 and 3, and to offer access to Sophus Lie's monumental Galois theory of continuous transformation groups, established at the end of the 19th Century. Lie groups are widespread in mathematics, playing a role in representation theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, the theory of partial differential equations and also in physics, for example in general relativity. This volume is of interest to researchers in Lie theory and exterior differential systems and also to historians of mathematics. The prerequisites are a basic knowledge of differential calculus, ordinary differential equations and differential geometry.
Download or read book On Certain Unitary Representations of an Infinite Group of Transformations written by Lon Hove and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 20, 1951, Lon Van Hove presented his thesis ?Sur certaines reprsentations unitaires d'un groupe infini de transformations' to the Universit libre de Bruxelles (Free University of Brussels), two days before the University of Grenoble had approved the creation of L'Ecole d't de physique thorique at Les Houches (Haute Savoie, France). The first session of the ?Ecole des Houches? began on July 15, 1951, with a month-long course by Van Hove on quantum mechanics. The lecture notes for this course were written for the benefit of physicists who ? like most of their colleagues outside the US, Canada, and England at that time ? did not know quantum mechanics but wanted to learn it seriously. Van Hove's course met their expectations fully. The physics course benefitted from the mathematical expertise of the lecturer, which is also apparent in this thesis. Without his own research as scaffolding, Van Hove could not have built the short and beautiful course which provided the participants with a solid, useful foundation in modern physics.The lecture notes are in French. If they had been in English they would have been published together with the translation of the thesis. The first three pages of the notes are reproduced at the end of this book. The set of notes was reproduced by stencils and distributed to the participants at the beginning of the course.The translation of Lon Van Hove's thesis was initiated in late 2000, when Bob Hermann, formerly in the Department of Mathematics at MIT, sent to Van Hove's son Michel his view on the thesis: ?I would consider it as one of the most important mathematical physics papers of the past fifty years, containing the key ideas for what has become known as ?geometric quantization.?? Indeed, the thesis is interesting both to historians of science and to theoretical physicists and mathematicians exploring the relationships between quantum and classical physics, based on the Hilbert-space approach to classical mechanics.

Download or read book Topological Transformation Groups written by Deane Montgomery and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An advanced monograph on the subject of topological transformation groups, this volume summarizes important research conducted during a period of lively activity in this area of mathematics. The book is of particular note because it represents the culmination of research by authors Deane Montgomery and Leo Zippin, undertaken in collaboration with Andrew Gleason of Harvard University, that led to their solution of a well-known mathematical conjecture, Hilbert's Fifth Problem. The treatment begins with an examination of topological spaces and groups and proceeds to locally compact groups and groups with no small subgroups. Subsequent chapters address approximation by Lie groups and transformation groups, concluding with an exploration of compact transformation groups.
