An action of a topological group G on a topological space X is a group action of G on X such that the corresponding function G × X → X is continuous. Likewise, a representation of a topological group G on a real or complex topological vector space V is a continuous action of G on V such that for each g ∈ G, the map v ↦ gv from V to ...
In mathematics, a locally compact group is a topological group G for which the underlying topology is locally compact and Hausdorff.Locally compact groups are important because many examples of groups that arise throughout mathematics are locally compact and such groups have a natural measure called the Haar measure.
In the mathematical field of algebraic topology, the fundamental group of a topological space is the group of the equivalence classes under homotopy of the loops contained in the space. It records information about the basic shape, or holes, of the topological space. The fundamental group is the first and simplest homotopy group.
The circle of center 0 and radius 1 in the complex plane is a compact Lie group with complex multiplication.. In mathematics, a compact (topological) group is a topological group whose topology realizes it as a compact topological space (when an element of the group is operated on, the result is also within the group).
In mathematics, a topological group G is a group that is also a topological space such that the group multiplication G × G→G and the inverse operation G→G are continuous maps. Subcategories This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total.
In mathematics, more specifically in topological groups, an extension of topological groups, or a topological extension, is a short exact sequence where , and are topological groups and and are continuous homomorphisms which are also open onto their images. [1]
In mathematics, a topological abelian group, or TAG, is a topological group that is also an abelian group. That is, a TAG is both a group and a topological space, the group operations are continuous, and the group's binary operation is commutative. The theory of topological groups applies also to TAGs, but more can be done with TAGs.
The first and simplest homotopy group is the fundamental group, denoted (), which records information about loops in a space. Intuitively, homotopy groups record information about the basic shape, or holes , of a topological space.
