Algebraic groups | Properties of groups

Algebraic group

In mathematics, an algebraic group is an algebraic variety endowed with a group structure which is compatible with its structure as an algebraic variety. Thus the study of algebraic groups belongs both to algebraic geometry and group theory. Many groups of geometric transformations are algebraic groups; for example, orthogonal groups, general linear groups, projective groups, Euclidean groups, etc. Many matrix groups are also algebraic. Other algebraic groups occur naturally in algebraic geometry, such as elliptic curves and Jacobian varieties. An important class of algebraic groups is given by the affine algebraic groups, those whose underlying algebraic variety is an affine variety; they are exactly the algebraic subgroups of the general linear group, and are therefore also called linear algebraic groups. Another class is formed by the abelian varieties, which are the algebraic groups whose underlying variety is a projective variety. Chevalley's structure theorem states that every algebraic group can be constructed from groups in those two families. (Wikipedia).

What is a Group? | Abstract Algebra

Welcome to group theory! In today's lesson we'll be going over the definition of a group. We'll see the four group axioms in action with some examples, and some non-examples as well which violate the axioms and are thus not groups. In a fundamental way, groups are structures built from s

Definition of a group Lesson 24

In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el

AlgTopReview4: Free abelian groups and non-commutative groups

Free abelian groups play an important role in algebraic topology. These are groups modelled on the additive group of integers Z, and their theory is analogous to the theory of vector spaces. We state the Fundamental Theorem of Finitely Generated Commutative Groups, which says that any such

301.2 Definition of a Group

A group is (in a sense) the simplest structure in which we can do the familiar tasks associated with "algebra." First, in this video, we review the definition of a group.

AlgTopReview2: Introduction to group theory

This lecture gives a brief overview or introduction to group theory, concentrating on commutative groups (future lectures will talk about the non-commutative case). We generally use additive notation + for the operation in a commutative group, and 0 for the (additive) inverse. The main sta

Integers modulo n

The integers modulo n under addition is a group. What are the integers mod n, though? In this video I take you step-by-step through the development of the integers mod 4 as an example. It is really easy to do and to understand.

Lie groups: Lie groups and Lie algebras

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We discuss the relation between Lie groups and Lie algebras, and give several examples showing how they behave differently. Lie algebras turn out to correspond more closely to the simply connected Lie groups. We then explain

For a discrete group G, the tracial states on its reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^∗_r (G)$ are exactly the conjugation invariant states. This makes the traces on $C^∗_r (G)$ amenable to group dynamical techniques. In the setting of a discrete quantum group ${\mathbb G}$, there is a quantum
