Plane of rotation
In geometry, a plane of rotation is an abstract object used to describe or visualize rotations in space. The main use for planes of rotation is in describing more complex rotations in four-dimensional space and higher dimensions, where they can be used to break down the rotations into simpler parts. This can be done using geometric algebra, with the planes of rotations associated with simple bivectors in the algebra.
Householder transformation
In linear algebra, a Householder transformation (also known as a Householder reflection or elementary reflector) is a linear transformation that describes a reflection about a plane or hyperplane containing the origin. The Householder transformation was used in a 1958 paper by Alston Scott Householder. Its analogue over general inner product spaces is the Householder operator. The reflection hyperplane can be defined by its normal vector, a unit vector (a vector with length ) that is orthogonal to the hyperplane.
Superalgèbre
En mathématiques et en physique théorique, une superalgèbre est une algèbre Z2 - graduée. En d'autres termes, c'est une algèbre sur un anneau ou un corps commutatif avec une décomposition en parties « paire » et « impaire » et un opérateur de multiplication qui respecte la graduation. Le préfixe super vient de la théorie de la supersymétrie en physique théorique. Les superalgèbres et leurs représentations, les supermodules, fournissent un cadre algébrique pour formuler cette théorie.
Orthogonal transformation
In linear algebra, an orthogonal transformation is a linear transformation T : V → V on a real inner product space V, that preserves the inner product. That is, for each pair u, v of elements of V, we have Since the lengths of vectors and the angles between them are defined through the inner product, orthogonal transformations preserve lengths of vectors and angles between them. In particular, orthogonal transformations map orthonormal bases to orthonormal bases. Orthogonal transformations are injective: if then , hence , so the kernel of is trivial.
