Relations With Representation Theory
Consider the following slightly more general context. Suppose that n and m are two integers and xij for i = 1,...,n,j = 1,...,m, be commuting variables. Redefine Eij by almost the same formula:
with the only difference that summation index a ranges from 1 to m. One can easily see that such operators satisfy the commutation relations:
Here denotes the commutator . These are the same commutation relations which are satisfied by the matrices which have zeros everywhere except the position (i,j), where 1 stands. ( are sometimes called matrix units). Hence we conclude that the correspondence defines a representation of the Lie algebra in the vector space of polynomials of xij.

Famous quotes containing the words relations with, relations and/or theory:
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Subject the material world to the higher ends by understanding it in all its relations to daily life and action.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
