geometrical representation
1Coadjoint representation — In mathematics, the coadjoint representation ρ of a Lie group G is the dual of the adjoint representation. Therefore, if g denotes the Lie algebra of G, it is the action of G on the dual space to g. More geometrically, G acts by conjugation on… …
2Ratio of a geometrical progression — Ratio Ra ti*o (r[=a] sh[i^]*[ o] or r[=a] sh[ o]), n. [L., fr. reri, ratus, to reckon, believe, think, judge. See {Reason}.] 1. (Math.) The relation which one quantity or magnitude has to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the quotient… …

8Braid group — In mathematics, the braid group on n strands, denoted by B n , is a certain group which has an intuitive geometrical representation, and in a sense generalizes the symmetric group S n . Here, n is a natural number; if n gt; 1, then B n is an… …
9Bloch sphere — In quantum mechanics, the Bloch sphere is a geometrical representation of the pure state space of a two level quantum mechanical system named after the physicist Felix Bloch. Alternatively, it is the pure state space of a 1 qubit quantum register …
