  Group representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Representation theory is the branch of mathematics that studies properties of abstract groups via their representations as linear transformations of vector spaces.
Representation theory is important because it enables many group-theoretic problems to be reduced to problems in linear algebra, which is a very well-understood theory.
A representation of a group G on a vector space V over a field K is a group homomorphism from G to GL(V), the general linear group on V.

 Adjoint representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the adjoint representation of a Lie group G is the linearized version of the action of G on itself by conjugation.
The representation is equivalent to that given by the action of G by linear substitution on the space of binary (i.e., 2 variable) quadratic forms.
According to the philosophy in representation theory known as the orbit method, the irreducible representations of a Lie group G should be indexed in some way by its co-adjoint orbits.

 Fundamental representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All other irreducible representations of the group can be found in the tensor products of the fundamental representation with many copies of itself.
For example, the fundamental representation of SO(n) or SU(n) are n-dimensional vector spaces, and the fundamental representation of E8 is 248-dimensional.
Another approach would be to specify that the matrix coefficients of the representation are a sufficiently rich set of functions on the group.

 BACKGROUND
There are two canonical representations of braid groups by matrices over Laurent polynomial rings - the Burau and Gassner representations (the latter is actually a representation of the pure braid group which is a subgroup of finite index in the whole braid group).
The Burau representation was shown to be non-faithful for n \ge 10 in [J.Moody, The faithfulness question for the Burau representation, Proc.
The "archimedian" superrigidity means that for each representation h: \Gamma \to GL_m(R) which has the image that is not relatively compact, there exists a finite index subgroup \Gamma' \subset \Gamma such that the restriction h\Gamma' is induced by a representation of the entire automorphism group of HH^n.

 FASB: Conceptual Framework
Faithful representation of real-world economic phenomena is an essential qualitative characteristic, which includes capturing the substance of those economic phenomena.
Representations are faithful—there is correspondence or agreement between the accounting measures or descriptions in financial reports and the economic phenomena they purport to represent—when the measures and descriptions are verifiable, and the measuring or describing is done in a neutral manner.
Materiality should be included in the converged framework as a screen or filter to determine whether information is sufficiently significant to influence the decisions of users in the context of the entity, rather than as a qualitative characteristic of decision-useful financial information.

No, such a group would be residually finite: As it is finiteily generated the matrix coefficients of its elements will generate a finitely generated ring so that the group would be a subgroup of GL_2(R), where R is a finitely generated ring.
For example, if a fg group has a faithful representation by matrices then it has a solvable word problem, it is residually finite, it is virtually torsion-free.
In fact the existence of a low-dimensional faithful representation is a strong condition.

It can also be shown that in this space, geometrically finite quasifuchsian representations are structurally stable, therefore, any small type-preserving deformation of such representation has the same topological properties.
In particular, any small deformation of such representation (: G (PU(2,1) preserves the topological type of the quocient M(((G)) = R(((G))/((G), where R(((G)) is the regular set of ((G).

 MSN Encarta - Realism (art and literature)
The novelist George Eliot introduced realism into English fiction; as she declared in Adam Bede (1859), her purpose was to give a “faithful representation of commonplace things.”Mark Twain and William Dean Howells were the pioneers of realism in the United States.
In general, the work of these writers illustrates the main tenet of realism, that writers must not select facts in accord with preconceived aesthetic or ethical ideals but must set down their observations impartially and objectively.
Concerned with the faithful representation of life, which frequently lacks form, the realists tended to downplay plot in favor of character and to concentrate on middle-class life and preoccupations, avoiding larger, more dramatic issues.

A faithful but reducible representation exists; it exists as a direct sum of two irreducible (nonfaithful) representations where the direct summands are not only subalgebras, but also mutually annihilating two-sided ideals in the faithfully representing algebra of dimension 2
The faithful representation is, of course, not simple, by virtue of it being a direct sum.
For n = 3, the faithful representation is expressed by the direct (reducible) sum M(2) + M(2) = CL(3), which is a subalgebra of M(4).
