Lie group

A central issue in Lie group theory is to find representations of groups: finite collections, say of matrices, that operate like elements of the group.

“We thought that the best way to get the information out there was to set these pages up, and when the episode airs, a lot of interest will come from that,” one member of the Schofield Lie group told me.

In 2013, he was awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics for his contribution to geometry and Lie group theory.
