In mathematics, the special unitary group of degree n, denoted SU(n), is the Lie group of n × n unitary matrices with determinant 1. The more general unitary matrices may have complex determinants with absolute value 1, rather than real 1 in the special case. The group operation is matrix multiplication. The special unitary group is a normal subgroup of the unitary group U(n), consisting of all n×n unitary matrices. As a compact classical group, U(n) is the group that preserves the standard inner product on . It is itself a subgroup of the general linear group, . The SU(n) groups find wide application in the Standard Model of particle physics, especially in the electroweak interaction and in quantum chromodynamics.The groups SU(2n) are important in quantum computing, as they represent the possible quantum logic gate operations in a quantum circuit with qubits and thus basis states. (Alternatively, the more general unitary group can be used, sincemultiplying by a global phase factor does not change the expectation values of a quantum operator.) The simplest case, SU(1), is the trivial group, having only a single element. The group SU(2) is isomorphic to the group of quaternions of norm 1, and is thus diffeomorphic to the 3-sphere. Since unit quaternions can be used to represent rotations in 3-dimensional space (up to sign), there is a surjective homomorphism from SU(2) to the rotation group SO(3) whose kernel is {+I, −I}. SU(2) is also identical to one of the symmetry groups of spinors, Spin(3), that enables a spinor presentation of rotations. (Wikipedia).

Group theory 24: Extra special groups
This lecture is part of an online mathematics course on group theory. It covers groups of order p^3. The non-abelian ones are examples of extra special groups, a sort of analog of the Heisenberg groups of quantum mechanics.

Bachir Bekka - On characters of infinite groups
Let G be a countable infinite group. Unless G is virtually abelian, a description of the unitary dual of G (that is, the equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G) is hopeless, as a consequence of theorems of Glimm and Thoma. A sensible substitute for the unitary dual

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)
Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Matrix Groups (Abstract Algebra)
Matrices are a great example of infinite, nonabelian groups. Here we introduce matrix groups with an emphasis on the general linear group and special linear group. The general linear group is written as GLn(F), where F is the field used for the matrix elements. The most common examples
