  Conjugation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grammatical conjugation is the modification of a verb from its basic form.
In organic chemistry, conjugation is the interaction between two carbon-carbon double bonds, increasing stability and thereby lowering the overall energy of the molecule.
In metabolism, conjugation is a biochemical process to bind a substance to an acid and thereby deactivating its biological activity, making it water-soluble, and facilitating its excretion.

 Conjugations - Information at Halfvalue.com
The conjugate transpose of a matrix with complex entries is created by taking the transpose of the matrix and the complex conjugate of each entry.
A conjugate in algebra is similar to a complex conjugate, but is used to rationalize the denominator of a fraction.
Conjugate quantities, in quantum physics, are observables that are linked by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, such as position and momentum.

 Wikipedia: Inner product space
In mathematics, an inner product space is a vector space with additional structure, an inner product, scalar product or dot product, which allows us to talk about angles and lengths of vectors.
Inner product spaces are generalizations of Euclidean space (where the dot product takes the place of the inner product) and are studied in functional analysis.

In mathematics, an inner product space is a vector space with additional structure, an inner product, scalar product or dot product, which allows us to introduce geometrical notions such as angles and lengths of vectors.
Inner product spaces are generalizations of Euclidean space (with the dot product as the inner product) and are studied in functional analysis.

We discuss special geometric models for these spaces for the family of compact open groups in special cases such as almost connected groups G and word hyperbolic groups G. We deal with the question whether there are finite models, models of finite type, finite dimensional models.
Since for metric spaces the property hyperbolic is invariant under quasiisometry and for two symmetric finite sets S1 and S2 of generators of G the metric spaces (G, dS1) and (G, dS2) are quasiisometric, the choice of S does not matter.
It is analogous to the Teichmüller space of a surface w* *ith the action of the mapping class group of the surface.

 CONTEXTS FOR SIMPLE SPINOR ALGEBRA
The understanding of spinors as being attached to, and constructed from isotropic vectors in Euclidean spaces strongly suggests that a physical R³ model of space in a fundamental physical theory be replaced with a C³ that is the analytic continuation of R³.
If the space is to be independent of the coordinates, the model R³ should be thought of as embedded in a C³, i.e., an R⁶; further, the linear space of 2x2 complex matrices is homeomorphic to R⁸, and the image space R⁶ is a linear subspace of this R⁸.
Even in Euclidean spaces, as one can speak of vector fields, vectors that are function of position in the space, one can also speak of spinor fields, and these are the animals that appear in physics when speaking of the spin of electron.

Dilations are a type of transformation that are not isometries, and with the isometries generate a group of transformations of the plane called similarities.
Although inversion is not an isometry of the Euclidean plane, it is relevant because some isometries of the hyperbolic plane are inversions.

Namely, as P. Pansu has shown, every quasiconformal map on the boundary of quaternionic hyperbolic space or the Cayley plane is the extension of an isometry (Corollary 11.2 and Proposition 11.5 in [20]).

Thus, for the result to hold, the space of Schottky groups modulo conjugation by isometries would have to reduce to a point, which of course is not the case.
However, in the quaternionic and Cayley cases our construction still yields an equivariant homeomorphism of hyperbolic space and its boundary which is a diffeomorphism in the interior.

We define the Lie algebra of G, often written g, to be the tangent space of the identity element of G. This is a vector space with the same dimension of G. A good way to think of Lie algebra elements is as tangent vectors to path in G that start at the identity.
