irreducible covering
1Covering groups of the alternating and symmetric groups — In the mathematical area of group theory, the covering groups of the alternating and symmetric groups are groups that are used to understand the projective representations of the alternating and symmetric groups. The covering groups were… …
2Glossary of scheme theory — This is a glossary of scheme theory. For an introduction to the theory of schemes in algebraic geometry, see affine scheme, projective space, sheaf and scheme. The concern here is to list the fundamental technical definitions and properties of… …
3Symmetric space — In differential geometry, representation theory and harmonic analysis, a symmetric space is a smooth manifold whose group of symmetries contains an inversion symmetry about every point. There are two ways to make this precise. In Riemannian… …
4Prehomogeneous vector space — In mathematics, a prehomogeneous vector space (PVS) is a finite dimensional vector space V together with a subgroup G of GL( V ) such that G has an open dense orbit in V . Prehomogeneous vector spaces were introduced by Mikio Sato in 1970 and… …
5Orbifold — This terminology should not be blamed on me. It was obtained by a democratic process in my course of 1976 77. An orbifold is something with many folds; unfortunately, the word “manifold” already has a different definition. I tried “foldamani”,… …
6Intelligent design — This article is about intelligent design as promulgated by the Discovery Institute. For other uses, see Intelligent design (disambiguation). For the philosophical argument from design , see Teleological argument …
7Matroid — In combinatorics, a branch of mathematics, a matroid (  /ˈmeɪ …
8Modular group — For a group whose lattice of subgroups is modular see Iwasawa group. In mathematics, the modular group Γ is a fundamental object of study in number theory, geometry, algebra, and many other areas of advanced mathematics. The modular group can be… …
9Representation theory of SU(2) — In the study of the representation theory of Lie groups, the study of representations of SU(2) is fundamental to the study of representations of semisimple Lie groups. It is the first case of a Lie group that is both a compact group and a non… …
10Young's lattice — In mathematics, Young s lattice is a partially ordered set and a lattice that is formed by all integer partitions. It is named after Alfred Young, who in a series of papers On quantitative substitutional analysis developed representation theory… …
