This article is about group field theory as a candidate theory of quantum gravity Beyond the Standard Model cTopic Quantum gravity Group field theory is a theory of quantum gravity . It is closely related to background independent quantum gravity approaches such as loop quantum gravity and spin foam and causal dynamical triangulation . A group field theory is, technically speaking, a quantum field theory living on a Lie group , whose Feynman diagrams correspond to spin foam s and simplicial manifold s depending on the representation of the fields . Thus, its partition function quantum field theory partition function defines a non perturbative sum over all simplicial topologies and geometries, giving a path integral formulation of quantum spacetime .

DISPLAYTITLE n group category theory distinguish p group In mathematics , an n group , or n dimensional higher group , is a special kind of n category n category that generalises the concept of group math group to higher dimensional algebra . Here, n may be any natural number or infinity . The general definition of n group is a matter of ongoing research. However, it is expected that every topological space will have a homotopy n group at every point, which will encapsulate the Postnikov tower of the space up to the homotopy group sub n i , or the entire Postnikov tower for n . The definition and many properties of 2 group s are already known. A 1 group is simply a group math group , and the only 0 group is trivial. References John C. Baez and Aaron D.

representation of the diffeomorphism group Wigner s classification representation theory of the Galilean group Particle physics and representation theory Category Representation theory of Lie groups Category Quantum field theory ...Unreferenced date October 2008 Lie groups In mathematics , the representation theory of the Poincar group is an example of the representation theory of a Lie group that is neither a compact group nor a semisimple group . It is fundamental in theoretical physics . In a physical theory having Minkowski space as the underlying spacetime , the space of physical states is typically a representation of the Poincar group. More generally, it may be a projective representation , which amounts to a representation of the Double covering group double cover of the group. In a classical field theory , the physical states are sections of a Poincar equivariant vector bundle over Minkowski space. The equivariance condition means that the group acts on the total space of the vector bundle, and the projection to Minkowski space is an equivariant map . Therefore the Poincar group also acts on the space of sections. Representations arising in this way and their subquotients are called covariant field representations, and are not usually unitary. For a discussion of such unitary representation s, see Wigner s classification . In quantum mechanics, the state of the system is determined by the Schr dinger equation, which is only invariant under Galilean transformations. Quantum field theory is the relativistic extension of quantum mechanics, where relativistic Lorentz Poincar invariant wave equations are solved, quantized , and act on a Hilbert space composed of Fock states eigenstates of the theory s Hamiltonian which are states with a definite number of particles with individual 4 momentum. There are no finite unitary representations of the full Lorentz and thus Poincar transformations due ... more details

In mathematics , combinatorial grouptheory is the theory of free group s, and the concept of a presentation of a group by generators and relations. It is much used in geometric topology , the fundamental group of a simplicial complex having in a natural and geometric way such a presentation. A very closely related topic is geometric grouptheory , which today largely subsumes combinatorial grouptheory, using techniques from outside combinatorics besides. It also comprises a number of algorithmically insoluble problems, most notably the word problem for groups and the classical Burnside problem . History See Harv Chandler Magnus 1982 for a detailed history of combinatorial grouptheory. A proto form is found in the 1856 Icosian Calculus of William Rowan Hamilton , where he studied the icosahedral symmetry group via the edge graph of the dodecahedron. The foundations of combinatorial grouptheory were laid by Walther von Dyck , student of Felix Klein , in the early 1880s, who gave the first systematic study of groups by generators and relations. ref name stillwell374 Citation publisher Springer isbn 978 0 38795336 6 last Stillwell first John title Mathematics and its history date 2002 page http books.google.com books?id WNjRrqTm62QC&pg PA374 374 ref References reflist refbegin citation title The History of Combinatorial GroupTheory A Case Study in the History of Ideas series Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences first1 B. last1 Chandler first2 Wilhelm last2 Magnus authorlink2 Wilhelm Magnus pages 234 publisher Springer edition 1st date December 1, 1982 isbn 978 0 38790749 9 refend Category Combinatorial grouptheory Abstract algebra stub pt Teoria combinat ria de grupos ... more details

In mathematics , computational grouptheory is the study of group mathematics group s by means of computers. It is concerned with designing and analysing algorithm s and data structure s to compute information about groups. The subject has attracted interest because for many interesting groups including most of the sporadic groups it is impractical to perform calculations by hand. Important algorithms in computational grouptheory include the Schreier Sims algorithm for finding the order of a permutation group the Todd Coxeter algorithm and Knuth Bendix algorithm for coset enumeration the product replacement algorithm for finding random elements of a group Two important computer algebra system s CAS used for grouptheory are GAP computer algebra system GAP and Magma computer algebra system Magma . Historically, other systems such as CAS for character theory and Cayley computer algebra system Cayley a predecessor of Magma were important. Some achievements of the field include complete enumeration of List of small groups all finite groups of order less than 2000 computation of representations for all the sporadic groups References A http www.math.ohio state.edu akos notices.ps survey of the subject by kos Seress from Ohio State University , expanded from an article that appeared in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society is available online.

In mathematics , in the field of grouptheory , a subgroup of a group mathematics group is termed a retract if there is an endomorphism of the group that maps surjective ly to the subgroup and is identity on the subgroup. In symbols, math H math is a retract of math G math if and only if there is an endomorphism math sigma G to G math such that math sigma h h math for all math h in H math and math sigma g in H math for all math g in G math . The endomorphism itself is termed an idempotent endomorphism or a retraction. The following is known about retracts A subgroup is a retract if and only if it has a normal subgroup normal complement grouptheory complement . The normal complement, specifically, is the kernel of the retraction. Every direct product of groups direct factor is a retract. Conversely, any retract which is a normal subgroup is a direct factor. Every retract has the CEP subgroup congruence extension property . Every regular factor , and in particular, every free factor , is a retract.

In mathematics , in the field of grouptheory , a component of a finite group finite group mathematics group is a quasisimple group quasisimple subnormal subgroup . Any two distinct components commutativity commute . The product of all the components is the Fitting subgroup The generalized Fitting subgroup layer of the group. For finite abelian group abelian or nilpotent group nilpotent groups, p component is used in a different sense to mean the Sylow theorems Sylow p subgroup , so the abelian group is the product of its p components for primes p . These are not components in the sense above, as abelian groups are not quasisimple. A quasisimple subgroup of a finite group is called a standard component if its centralizer has even order, it is normal subgroup normal in the centralizer of every Involution mathematics involution centralizing it, and it commutes with none of its Conjugacy class Conjugacy of subgroups and general subsets conjugates . This concept is used in the classification of finite simple groups , for instance, by showing that under mild restrictions on the standard component one of the following always holds a standard component is normal so a component as above , the whole group has a nontrivial solvable group solvable normal subgroup, the subgroup generated by the conjugates of the standard component is on a short list, or the standard component is a previously unknown quasisimple group harv Aschbacher Seitz 1976 .

A sequence math B beta 1, beta 2,..., beta k math of k distinct elements of math Omega math is a base for G if the only element of math G math which fixes every math beta i in B math pointwise is the identity element of math G math . We define the concept of a strong generating set relative to a base. Bases and strong generating sets are concepts of importance in computational grouptheory . A base and a strong generating set together often called a BSGS for a group can be obtained using the Schreier Sims algorithm . It is often beneficial to deal with bases and strong generating sets as these may be easier to work with than the entire group. A group may have a small base compared to the set it acts on. In the worst case , the symmetric group s and alternating group s have large bases the symmetric group S sub n sub has base size n &minus 1 , and there are often specialized algorithms that deal with these cases. algebra stub Category Permutation groups Category Computational grouptheory eo Bazo grupa teorio ... more details
Distinguish modular representation theory Aschbacher block In mathematics and grouptheory , a block system for the group action action of a group mathematics group G on a Set mathematics set X is a partition set theory partition of X that is G invariant . In terms of the associated equivalence relation on X , G invariance means that x y implies gx gy for all g in G and all x , y in X . The action of G on X determines a natural action of G on any block system for X . Each element of the block system is called a block . A block can be characterized as a subset B of X such that for all g in G , either gB B g fixes B or gB B g moves B entirely . If B is a block then gB is a block for any g in G . If G acts transitive action transitively on X , then the set gB g G is a block system on X . The trivial partitions into singleton set s and the partition into one set X itself are block systems. A transitive G set X is said to be primitive if contains no nontrivial partitions. Stabilizers of blocks If B is a block, the stabilizer subgroup stabilizer of B is the subgroup G sub B sub g G gB B . The stabilizer of a block contains the stabilizer G sub x sub of each of its elements. Conversely, if x X and H is a subgroup of G containing G sub x sub , then the orbit grouptheory orbit of x under H is a block. It follows that the blocks containing x are in one to one correspondence with the subgroups of G containing G sub x sub . In particular, a G set is primitive if and only if the stabilizer of each point is a maximal subgroup of G .

In mathematics , especially in the area of algebra known as grouptheory , a complement of a subgroup H in a group mathematics group G is a subgroup K of G such that G HK hk h H and k K and H K e , that is, if every element of G has a unique expression as a product hk where h in H and k in K . Complements generalize both the direct product of groups direct product where the subgroups H and K commute element wise , and the semidirect product where one of H or K normalizes the other . The product corresponding to a general complement is called the Zappa Sz p product . In all cases, a subgroup with a complement, in some sense, lets the group be factored into simpler pieces. A p complement is a complement to a Sylow subgroup Sylow p subgroup . Theorems of Ferdinand Georg Frobenius Frobenius and John G. Thompson Thompson describe when a group has a normal p complement . Philip Hall characterized finite solvable group soluble groups amongst finite group s as those with p complements for every prime p these p complements are used to form what is called a Sylow system .

Construction The construction of the map proceeds as follows ref Following Scott 3.5 ref Let G H n and select coset representatives, say math x 1, dots, x n, , math for H in G , so G can be written math G dot cup x i H. math Given y in G , each yx sub i sub is in some coset x sub j sub H and so math yx i x jh math for some index j and some element h of H , Then in general math yx i x iA h i math where A A y is some mapping of 1,2, , n to itself and each h sub i sub h sub i sub y is an element of H . The value of the transfer for y is defined to be the product in H H math textstyle prod h i H math where H is the commutator subgroup of H . Note that the order of the factors is irrelevant since H H is abelian. It s straightforward to show that, though the individual h sub i sub depend on the choice of coset representatives, the value of the transfer does not. It s also straightforward to show that and that the mapping defined this way a homomorphism.

In mathematical grouptheory, a formation is a class of groups closed under taking images and such that if G M and G N are in the formation then so is G M &cap N . harvtxt Gasch tz 1962 introduced formations to unify the theory of Hall subgroup s and Carter subgroup s of finite solvable groups. Some examples of formations are the formation of p groups for a prime p , the formation of groups for a set of primes , and the formation of nilpotent groups. Schunck classes A Schunck class, introduced by harvtxt Schunck 1967 , is a generalization of a formation, consisting of a class of groups such that a group is in the class if and only if every primitive factor group is in the class. Here a group is called primitive if it has a self centralizing normal abelian subgroup.
