Projective linear groupIn mathematics, especially in the group theoretic area of algebra, the projective linear group (also known as the projective general linear group or PGL) is the induced action of the general linear group of a vector space V on the associated projective space P(V). Explicitly, the projective linear group is the quotient group PGL(V) = GL(V)/Z(V) where GL(V) is the general linear group of V and Z(V) is the subgroup of all nonzero scalar transformations of V; these are quotiented out because they act trivially on the projective space and they form the kernel of the action, and the notation "Z" reflects that the scalar transformations form the center of the general linear group.
CollineationIn projective geometry, a collineation is a one-to-one and onto map (a bijection) from one projective space to another, or from a projective space to itself, such that the of collinear points are themselves collinear. A collineation is thus an isomorphism between projective spaces, or an automorphism from a projective space to itself. Some authors restrict the definition of collineation to the case where it is an automorphism. The set of all collineations of a space to itself form a group, called the collineation group.
Covering groups of the alternating and symmetric groupsIn the mathematical area of group theory, the covering groups of the alternating and symmetric groups are groups that are used to understand the projective representations of the alternating and symmetric groups. The covering groups were classified in : for n ≥ 4, the covering groups are 2-fold covers except for the alternating groups of degree 6 and 7 where the covers are 6-fold. For example the binary icosahedral group covers the icosahedral group, an alternating group of degree 5, and the binary tetrahedral group covers the tetrahedral group, an alternating group of degree 4.
Opérateur de HeckeEn mathématiques, en particulier dans la théorie des formes modulaires, un opérateur de Hecke, étudié par Erich Hecke, est un certain type d'opérateur de « moyennage » qui joue un rôle important dans la structure des espaces vectoriels de formes modulaires et de représentations automorphes plus générales. Mordell (1917) a utilisé les opérateurs de Hecke sur les formes modulaires dans un article sur les formes paraboliques spéciales de Ramanujan, bien avant la théorie générale développée par Hecke (1937a, 1937b).
Bien (philosophie)vignette|La Bonté (1839). Plâtre (Surmoulage) au musée François Rude de Dijon. Le Bien est, avec l'Un et le Vrai, l'un des trois transcendantaux de la Scolastique ; il est surtout de nos jours la valeur normative de la morale, avec comme opposé le Mal. La détermination de ce qui est bien ou mal, à distinguer de ce qui fait du bien, de ce qui fait mal, peut se faire dans le cadre des règles de civilité, de l'honneur, de l'utilité collective, de l'intérêt public, ou au contraire particulier.
