  Poincare biography
Poincaré was a scientist preoccupied by many aspects of mathematics, physics and philosophy, and he is often described as the last universalist in mathematics.
Poincaré realised that indeed he had made an error and Mittag-Leffler made strenuous efforts to prevent the publication of the incorrect version of the memoir.
Poincaré was absolutely correct, however, in his criticism that those like Russell who wished to axiomatise mathematics; they were doomed to failure.

In mathematics, an abelian group is a commutative group, i.
In mathematics, a normal subgroup N of a group G is a subgroup invariant under conjugation; that is, for each element n in N and each g in G, the element g-1ng is still in N. The statement N is a normal subgroup of G is written:.
In mathematics, in particular in the theory of Lie groups, algebraic groups and topological groups, a homogeneous space for a group G is a manifold or topological space X on which G acts by symmetry in a transitive way; it is not assumed that the action of G is faithful.

 HENRI POINCARE
Poincaré was a pioneer in hyperbolic geometry, which in the 1970's and 1980's became important in the study of 3-manifolds.
Poincaré made his reputation in the theory of automorphic functions, which are functions invariant under linear fractional transformations.
Poincaré's essay won the prize in 1889, even though he only partially solved the problem; what Poincaré found was that (to use modern terminology) mathematical chaos was lurking in Newton's equations for three or more bodies.

The most familiar group in physics is the rotation group governing rotations in three-dimensional space.
Later, in the last two chapters of the book, some applications of this oscillator formalism to hadronic phenomenology are given, for example, to give an explanation of the mass spectra of hadrons and the study the deformation properties of relativistic hadrons.
The idea is to show the relationship between the little groups of massive and massless particles (isomorphic to O(3) and E(2), respectively).

Poincaré can be said to have been the originator of algebraic topology and of the theory of analytic functions of several complex variables.
He was able to show that any 2-dimensional surface having the same fundamental group as the two-dimensional surface of a sphere is topologically equivalent to a sphere.
Poincaré was also first to consider the possibility of chaos in a deterministic system, in his work on planetary orbits.

For example, the first homology group of a space (using integer coefficients) is the abelianization (G/[G,G]) of the fundamental group.
Poincar\'e 's original "poincare conjecture" asked if a 3-dimensional manifold with trivial homology had to be a sphere; he himself gave a counterexample by finding a quotient of S^3 by a perfect group (G=its own commutator subgroup).
You can do it with homotopy groups too (in which case you ought even to ask about non-abelian groups for \pi_1) and the answer is still "yes"; the groups are certain CW complexes called Eilenberg-MacLane spaces.

On Poincar\'e transformations and the modular group of the algebra associated with a wedge
It will be shown that in a theory of local observables the modular group of the algebra of any wedge domain acts local iff the theory is Poincar\'e covariant, fulfils wedge duality and moreover the observables fulfil some reality condition with respect to the representation of the Lorentz group.
If in addition to this representation of the Poincar\'e group the theory happens to be covariant with respect to a second representation of the Poincar\'e group then both representations differ only by a representation of the Lorentz group, which is a gauge transformation, i.e.

The topological groups G that have the finiteness property that K(n)*(G) is finite in each degree will be called K(n)-locally stably duali* *zable groups, and among these we can single out the K(n)-compact groups as those whose classifying space BG is a K(n)-local space.
For finite groups G this follows as in [Kl01], but the natural generality for t* *he the- ory appears to be to allow topological Galois groups G that are E-locally stably dualizable, as considered here.

Introduction}}\vspace{5mm} A new family of unitary representations of the Poincar\'{e} group in four space-time dimensions is given, which describe two boson systems with interaction.
The difficulty in passing from 3-d to 4-d comes from the highter dimension of the Poincar\'{e} group (passing from 7 to 10 dimensions) and from the non-integrability of some kernels.
Thus from theorem 5, $c$ is the interaction kernel in the centre-of-mass frame of a continuous unitary representation of the Poincar\'{e} group.

It will be shown that in a theory of local observables the modular group of the algebra of any wedge domain acts local iff the theory is Poincar\'e covariant, fulfils wedge duality and moreover the observables fulfil some reality condition with respect to the representation of the Lorentz group.

The group generated by the $\tau_i$, $i \in I$, is denoted by $\Ts$ and forms a subgroup of the transformations on the index set $I$.
Because of the requirement that the admissible family be mapped onto itself by the isometry group of the space-time, an admissible family $\Ws$ in the case of Minkowski space must contain the orbit of each of its elements under the action of the Poincar\'e group.
In Section 4.1 we consider the elements of the transformation group $\Ts$ associated with any such state and establish a considerable extension of the Alexandrov-Zeeman-Borchers-Hegerfeldt theorems by showing that these maps are induced by point transformations which form a subgroup $\Gs$ of the Poincar\'e group.

Group theory provides a precise language with which to describe the possible symmetries of a physical system.
In the case of crystallographic groups, the successful classification of relevant symmetry groups in the nineteenth century made possible many predictions of what may actually be observed in nature.
The first chapter provides a gentle introduction to groups (both finite and compact) and group actions, with excursions into the role of groups in crystallography, the classification of finite subgroups of $O(3)$, and the interplay of the icosahedral group and Euler's formula with fullerenes (``buckyballs'').

In a group of order $40$ the number of Sylow 5-subgroups must be 1 by Sylow's theorem, so it cannot be simple.
In a simple group of order 56 there must be 8 Sylow 7-subgroups and so 48 elements of order 7.
The remaining $56-48 = 8$ elements of the group must comprise the unique Sylow 2-subgroup, which must therefore be normal which is absurd.} \item Show that there is no non-abelian finite simple group of order greater than 60 but less that 168.

 E. Noether's Discovery of the Deep Connection Between Symmetries and Conservation Laws
It is the group of all continuous coordinate transformations with continuous derivatives, often called the group of general coordinate transformations.
Such pseudotensors are covariant with respect to the linear transformations of the Poincar group and may be used in asymptotic spacetime regions far from gravitating sources to derive a principle of energy conservation.
For theories whose symmetry group is an infinite continuous group, the main results of theorem II are that there are certain identities, or "dependencies" as she called them [1], between Lagrange functions of the theory and their derivatives.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between inequivalent covariant displaced Fock representations of the free relativistic field and the 1-cohomology of the Poincaré group with coefficients in the one-particle space.
The 1-cohomology groups of the restricted Poincaré group are calculated.
We recover P-invariance in a direct integral representation possessing a gauge group, and a superselection structure labelled by the velocities of the condensed states of matter which are the cocycles determining each irreducible component of the representation.

For example, since Poincar\'e, it is known how to associate the group $\pi_1(X,x_0)$ to a topological space $X$ and to one of its points $x_0$; this group is called the {\em Poincar\'e group} or the {\em first homotopy group} of the space $X$ based on $x_0$.
This group is null if and only if the space $X$ is {\em simply connected at $x_0$}; in another case, the group measures the lack of simple connectivity.
Since the domain group is a free group, it is enough to define the operators on the generators of these groups; to avoid any confusion, we denote $\gamma(x)$ the generator of $\Omega_n$ which comes from the element $x$ of $X_{n+1}$.
