	Weight (representation theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weight is a concept arising often in representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, a branch of mathematics.
		The motivation is that, given a set S of complex matrices, each of which is diagonalizable and any two of which commute, it is always possible to diagonalize all the elements of S simultaneously.
		Sometimes, the term dominant weight is used to denote a dominant (in the above sense) and integral weight.

		Theory is there to help them should they need it, but its wider reaches and philosophical implications are not generally of interest.
		For all its deficiencies, theory can focus attention on what writers should be trying to do, act as a prophylactic against the false and stultifying, and open up disciplines that support writing and are fascinating in their own right.
		Theory at its most basic, those practical maxims that writers carry in their heads — maintain the viewpoint, shun cliché, employ the active tense — are applications of the aesthetic demands for pleasing shape and emotive appeal.

		In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection.
		Graphs with weights, or weighted graphs, are used to represent structures in which pairwise connections have some numerical values.
		A digraph with weighted edges in the context of graph theory is called a network.

		Given a set S of complex matrices, each of which is diagonalizable and any two of which commute under multiplication, it is always possible to diagonalize all the elements of S simultaneously.
		This situation arises typically in the representation theory of Lie algebras.
		This situation arises typically in the representation theory of compact Lie groups, where S is typically taken to be a maximal torus, i.e., a maximal compact connected commutative Lie group.

		The JMP paper begins a systematic study of channels defined by representations; the famous Werner-Holevo channel is one element of this infinite class.
		We show that the channel derived from the defining representation of su(n) is a depolarizing channel for all n, but for most other representations this is not the case.
		These theories have been proven to exist in the sense of constructive quantum field theory, and they also satisfy the assumptions used by Vafa and Cecotti in their study of the geometry of ground states.

	MAT 290-016 Gromov-Witten Theory and Virasoro Constraints
		Abstract: The GW theory is an intersection theory of cohomology classes on the moduli space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface into a symplectic manifold.
		Besides representation theory of the Virasoro algebra itself, the "Virasoro constraint condition" appears in two places in mathematics: one is in Gromov-Witten theory, and the other in Borchards' theory of vertex (operator) algebras and Moonshine.
		This representation is completely reducible and decomposes into the direct sum of irreducible highest weight representations with central charge c=1.

		In ordinary representation theory, one can recover a representation by starting with a high weight vector and hitting it with lowering operators until all further applications are the zero vector.
		A high weight vector is recognizable as one that raises to zero under all simple roots.

		The third is the unitary highest weight representations of the current (= affine Kac-Moody) algebras.
		These algebras appear in the lectures twice, in the reduction theory of soliton equations (KP KdV) and in the Sugawara construction as the main tool in the study of the fourth incarnation of the main idea, the theory of the highest weight representations of the Virasoro algebra.
		To mathematicians, it illustrates the interaction of the key ideas of the representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras; and to physicists, this theory is turning into an important component of such domains of theoretical physics as soliton theory, theory of two-dimensional statistical models, and string theory.

		I will focus on the geometric approach to the finite dimensional representation theory of the group SL(2,C) of invertible two-by-two matrices with complex entries having determinant equal to one.
		I will, using mainly the example of sl(2), give a rapid introduction to the highest weight (infinite dimensional) representation theory (of a reductive Lie algebra) and the corresponding geometric representation theory (which describes this representation theory in terms of D-modules [= systems of linear PDE with rational coefficients] on the flag variety).
		Again these results extend to the weighted case and again the proof depends on the study of a toric degeneration.

	Two cheers for string theory \| Cosmic Variance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		String theory, with all of its difficulties, is by far the most promising route to one of the most long-lasting and ambitious goals of natural science: a complete understanding of the microscopic laws of nature.
		Just as in quantum field theory, the observable spectrum of low-energy string excitations and their interactions (that is to say, particle physics) depends not only on the fundamental string physics, but on the specific vacuum state in which we find ourselves.
		If string theorists continue to develop a really outdated theory at one hand and arrogantly claim that are doing (they believe that in their infinite ignorance) the most important, the most powerful, the most fundamental theory at the other, then they would feel comfortable with the mocking of their colleagues.
