Investigation of Representation Theory for Algebraic and Geometric Applications

Abstract

Understanding the algebraic and geometric structures that form in diverse mathematical areas depends heavily on the study of representation theory. The significance and uses of representation theory in both algebra and geometry are briefly discussed in this abstract.The primary goal of representation theory is to understand how linear transformations on vector spaces can represent abstract algebraic objects like groups, rings, and algebras. Representation theory offers a strong framework to analyse and interact with these structures using the methods and tools of linear algebra by linking algebraic structures with linear transformations.The representation theory has significant effects on algebra. Through the examination of the representations that go along with a group, it allows us to examine its composition and behaviour. One can learn more about the internal structures and underlying symmetries of groups by breaking representations down into irreducible parts. This has implications for number theory, combinatorics, and quantum physics, among other fields.Understanding symmetries and transformations of geometric objects in geometry depends critically on representation theory. The investigation of shape and space symmetry is made possible by representation theory, which links geometric objects with linear transformations. This has uses in a variety of disciplines, including physics' study of symmetry groups, differential geometry, and crystallography.A crucial area of research, representation theory has extensive uses in both algebra and geometry. It is indispensable in many branches of mathematics and opens up new directions for research and discovery because it can reveal the underlying structures and symmetries of abstract algebraic objects.
