  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Special orthogonal group
In mathematics, the orthogonal group of degree n over a field F (written as O(n,F)) is the group of n-by-n orthogonal matrices with entries from F, with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
This is a subgroup of the general linear group GL(n,F).
O(n,R) is a subgroup of the Euclidean group E(n), the group of isometries of R As an algebraic group, an orthogonal group is in general neither connected nor simply-connected; the latter point brings in the spin phenomena, while the former is related to the discriminant.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Rotation group
The group of all proper and improper rotations in n dimensions is called the orthogonal group, O(n), and the subgroup of proper rotations is called the special orthogonal group, SO(n).
This larger group is the group of all motions of a rigid body: each of these is a combination of a rotation about an arbitrary axis and a translation along the axis, or put differently, a combination of an element of SO(3) and an arbitrary translation.
In general, the rotation group of an object is the symmetry group within the group of direct isometries; in other words, the intersection of the full symmetry group and the group of direct isometries.

More generally, any (skew) field gives rise to two groups: the additive group of all field elements with 0 as identity element, and the multiplicative group of all non-zero field elements with 1 as identity element.
This is the automorphism group of the given object and captures its “internal symmetries”.
The fundamental group is generalized by the higher homotopy groups.

 Orthogonal group - Biocrawler
In even dimensions in characteristic 2 the orthogonal group is a subgroup of the symplectic group, because the symmetric bilinear form of the quadratic form is also an alternating form.
For the usual orthogonal group over the reals it is trivial, but it is often non-trivial over other fields, or for the orthogonal group of a quadratic form over the reals that is not positive definite.
As an algebraic group, an orthogonal group is in general neither connected nor simply-connected; the latter point brings in the spin phenomena, while the former is related to the discriminant.

 Orthogonal matrix Summary
The n×n orthogonal matrices form a group, the orthogonal group denoted by O(n), which—with its subgroups—is widely used in mathematics and the physical sciences.
The orthogonal matrices whose determinant is +1 form a path-connected normal subgroup of O(n) of index 2, the special orthogonal group SO(n) of rotations.
Orthogonal matrices with determinant −1 do not include the identity, and so do not form a subgroup but only a coset; it is also (separately) connected.

 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.
With tensors in the context of linear spaces, the group is usually a group of the general group of basis substitutions, or a subgroup thereof.
The "special orthogonal group in three dimensions", SO(3) is one of the classical Lie groups, and it is therefore simultaneously: an analytic manifold, a group and a measure space, with a left invariant Haar measure, invariant under the left action of the group on itself.

Then it is proved that holomorphic polynomials on the group are square integrable with respect to the heat kernel measure.
We describe on K an analog of the Bargmann-Segal "coherent state" transform, and we prove that this generalized coherent state transform maps L^2(K) isometrically onto the space of holomorphic functions in L^2(G, \mu), where G is the complexification of K and where \mu is an appropriate heat kernel measure on G.
The generalized coherent state transform is defined in terms of the heat kernel on the compact group K, and its analytic continuation to the complex group G.

The remaining non-nilpotent groups of order at most 2000 have been determined by Hans Ulrich Besche and Bettina Eick using the coprime split extensions method for solvable groups with certain normal Hall subgroups, the Frattini extension method for solvable group in general and the well-known cyclic extension algorithm for non-solvable groups.

The method, termed as `generalized polynomial chaos' or `Wiener-Askey polynomial chaos', is an extension of the mathematical theory of Nobert Wiener (1938).
The generalized polynomial chaos is a broader framework which includes the Wiener-Hermite polynomial chaos as a subset.
The results of generalized polynomial chaos are examined in model problems, and exponential convergence is demonstrated when the exact solutions are known and the appropriate type of chaos is employed.

 Orthogonal Arrays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The columns of the orthogonal array correspond to the different variables whose effects are being analyzed.
While there are nowadays other applications of orthogonal arrays in statistics (for example in computer experiments and survey sampling), the principal application is in the selection of level combinations for fractional factorial experiments.
Since the rows of an orthogonal array represent runs (or tests or samples) - which require money, time, and other resources - there are always practical constraints on the number of rows that can be used in an experiment.

Briegleb presented results from CSM simulations showing oversimulation of the equatorward transport of sea ice on the poleward side of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and a general unrealistic pattern of ice transport throughout the Arctic Ocean and on the polar margins of the North Atlantic.
The problem near the ACC could be related to the ocean model, the atmosphere model, or a combination of both, not necessarily the sea ice model.

 GAP Manual: 37.12 Irreducible Maximal Finite Integral Matrix Groups
Any integral matrix group G of dimension n is a subgroup of GL_n(Z) as well as of GL_n(Q) and hence lies in some conjugacy class of integral matrix groups under GL_n(Z) and also in some conjugacy class of rational matrix groups under GL_n(Q).
For any such group G, say, there is at least one class C in Q_1(n) such that G is conjugate under Q to a proper subgroup of some group H in C.
In fact, the class C is uniquely determined for any group G occurring in the library (though there seems to be no reason to assume that this property should hold in general).
