group + vector space action(construction junction)Linear representation of a group

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require the group action maps to be invertible linear transformations.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Linear representation of a groupBloch state

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Lattice translations act on one-particle states by commuting unitary operators. A Bloch state transforms in a one-dimensional character of that Abelian translation group, labeled by crystal momentum modulo the reciprocal lattice.

How to interpret this relation type

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Linear representation of a groupCharacter of a finite-dimensional representation

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A finite-dimensional group representation assigns a linear operator to each group element; taking its trace produces the associated character and discards basis-dependent matrix entries.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Linear representation of a groupClebsch–Gordan coefficient

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Clebsch–Gordan coefficients implement the change of basis for decomposing tensor-product representations.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Linear representation of a groupElementary particle

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Relativistic particle species and internal quantum numbers are organized by representations of spacetime and internal symmetry groups.

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Linear representation of a groupIrreducible representation

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Irreducibility excludes proper nonzero invariant subspaces.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A unitary representation acts by unitary operators on a Hilbert space.
