    For example, the special linear group is defined by the equation =. The above formula shows that its Lie algebra is the special linear Lie algebra s l n {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {sl}}_{n}} consisting of those matrices having trace zero.

  4. Trace (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_(linear_algebra)

    The special linear group consists of the matrices which do not change volume, while the special linear Lie algebra is the matrices which do not alter volume of infinitesimal sets. In fact, there is an internal direct sum decomposition g l n = s l n ⊕ K {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {gl}}_{n}={\mathfrak {sl}}_{n}\oplus K} of operators/matrices ...

  5. Matrix multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication

    The result matrix has the number of rows of the first and the number of columns of the second matrix. In mathematics, specifically in linear algebra, matrix multiplication is a binary operation that produces a matrix from two matrices. For matrix multiplication, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in ...

  6. SL2 (R) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL2(R)

    In mathematics, the special linear group SL(2, R) or SL 2 (R) is the group of 2 × 2 real matrices with determinant one: (,) = {():,,, =}.It is a connected non-compact simple real Lie group of dimension 3 with applications in geometry, topology, representation theory, and physics.

  7. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition or matrix factorization is a factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems.
