  Unitary group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the unitary group of degree n, denoted U(n), is the group of n×n unitary matrices, with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
The unitary group U(n) is nonabelian for n > 1.
The unitary group U(n) is endowed with the relative topology as a subset of M

 Lie group
In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced "lee") is an analytic real or complex manifold that is also a group such that the group operations multiplication and inversion are analytic maps.
Lie groups are important in mathematical analysis, physics and geometry because they serve to describe the symmetry of analytical structures.
If we require that the Lie group be simply connected, then the global structure is determined by its Lie algebra: for every finite dimensional Lie algebra g over F there is a unique (up to isomorphism) simply connected Lie group G with g as Lie algebra.

 The periodicity theorem
It was therefore a complete surprise in 1957, when Raoul Bott computed the stable homotopy groups of the classical groups and found a simple periodic pattern for each of the classical groups [24].
Thus, the stable homotopy group of the unitary group is periodic of period
Applying the same method to the orthogonal group and the symplectic group, Bott showed that their stable homotopy groups are periodic of period

For example, the representation theory of the two-dimensional special unitary group is the basis of the quantum theory of angular momentum which in turn motivated Hermann Weyl's work on the representation theory of compact Lie groups.
Extending this framework, we consider the general situation of a group acting on a finite-dimensional central simple algebra by algebra automorphisms.
The fundamental problem in representation theory is to classify the subrepresentations of this algebra, but this ignores the interplay between the group action and the ring structure.

In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced "lee", named after Sophus Lie) is an analytic real or complex manifold that is also a group such that the group operations multiplication and inversion are analytic maps.
is a real Lie group (with ordinary vector addition as the group operation), more typical examples are groups of invertible matrices (under matrix multiplication), for instance the group SO(3) of all rotations in 3-dimensional space.

In 1871, St. George Mivart, in On the Genesis of Species, claimed that, contrary to Darwin, species arise suddenly with large-scale changes already intact: Inheritance by blending, as Darwin proposed, meant that variation would have to be sustained by an extremely high mutation rate.
In 1872, Christian Felix Klein outlined his synthesis of geometric group transformations, in which he showed that there were three types of geometry: the Bolyai-Lobachevsky type where straight lines have two infinitely distant points, the Riemann type where the points are imaginary, and Euclid's type.
