group + smooth manifold(construction junction)Lie group

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Require multiplication and inversion to be smooth.

How to interpret this relation type

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

Outgoing relations (arrows from this concept)

Each relation below starts at this concept.

Lie groupCompact Lie group

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

A compact Lie group has compact underlying topology.

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.

Lie groupGauge field theory

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Gauge theories use Lie groups to encode local symmetry transformations and classify gauge fields and matter representations.

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.

Lie groupLie algebra

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Take the tangent space at the identity with the bracket induced by left-invariant vector fields.

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.

Lie groupLorentz group

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The Lorentz group is the Lie group preserving a Lorentzian quadratic form.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Continuous physical symmetries are modeled by Lie groups.
