Circle group

Each group we discuss is a Lie group because products and inverses are differentiable functions of the parameters. For example, the circle group T is parameterized by d (see Figure 4.1, part a). Because e is a differentiable function of d, inversion is differentiable. Because jg differentiable... 

We can summarize our work above by writing that the natural representation of SO (3) on C is irreducible. In contrast, we have seen in Section 5.1 that the representation of the circle group defined by Formula 5.1 is not irreducible. 

For example, each linear operator on that is diagonal in the standard basis of commutes with the representation of the circle group T defined by Formula 5.1. One often expresses commutation with a diagram. For the diagram version of Definition 6.3, see Figure 6.1. 

Exercise 6.2 Consider the representation of the circle group T on the complex vector space V = C" with... 

Exercise 6.5 Use Proposition 6.3 to prove that every irreducible representation of the circle group T is one dimensional. Then generalize this result to prove that every irreducible representation of an n-fold product of circles T X X T (otherwise known as an n-torus) is one dimensional. (As always in this text, representations are complex vector spaces, so one dimensional refers to one complex dimension.)... 

Proof. We will show that there is a polynomial p e of weight f with respect to the circle group T, Using Proposition 6.17 from Section 6.6 we will conclude that the dimension of one of the irreducible components of must be at least 2f 1. Because the total dimension of B is 2f -+ 1, we will conclude that B is itself irreducible.

Once we have identified the functional group and the parent chain, then everything else connected to the parent chain is called a substituent. In the following example, all of the circled groups are substituents, because they are not part of the parent chain ... 

Show that over the reals a torus T is anisotropic iff it is a product of copies of the circle group. [Let a Z" - Z" be an automorphism of order 2 with no fixed elements diagonalize a over the rationals to show it is multiplication by —1.]... 

This particular 4 can be made into a Hopf algebra (representing the circle group of (1, Ex. II)), and for such algebras we will prove several properties observable here. Hopf algebras over fields, for instance, will always have free modules of differentials. Also, the circle has dimension one, and this equals the rank of 2A except in a positive-characteristic case where 4 has nilpotent elements in (11.6) we will analyze this in general. 

For the circle group, finish proving that SlA — A dO when 2 is invertible. When fc = Z, show A dO is a free submodule, and compute QA /A dO. 

Finally, reductive groups play a major role in recent work on automor-phic functions. To take the basic example, let k be the reals. Then SL2(k) acts on the half-plane 2 = x + iy y > 0 by ( J)z = (az + b)/(cz + d) this is transitive, and the circle group K - ( g ) a2 + b2 = 1 is the stabilizer of z = i. Thus the half-plane is the coset space (symmetric space) for K in SLz(k). The classical modular functions on the half-plane are precisely those invariant under the arithmetic subgroup SL2(Z) or certain subgroups of it. All such functions can thus be pulled back to be functions on SL2(k) with certain invariance properties. The same thing then can be done for coset spaces of other reductive groups. Some of the most recent treatments also use the group not just for the reals but for the various p-adic completions of... 

FIGURE 9.71 Pentose phosphate pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway is used for the metabolism of various sugars. It is required for the biosynthesis of ribose 5-phosphate (a component of ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, TTP, and the nucleic acids). The pentose phosphate pathway is used for the reduction of NADP. Thiamin pyrophosphate is a cofactor for two enzymes of the pathway, as indicated by TPP. The circled groups are the two-carbon units transferred by TPP.

Fig. 19 First four groups of bands in the 252.7-nm excited 10 K emission spectrum of Cs2NaY0.99Pr0.oiCl6. The progressions in Vi and in the lattice mode are indicated. Zero-phonon lines are assigned to terminal SLJ states, and the electronic transitions are indicated by horizontal bars above the spectra. The inset shows the first (circled) group of bands in greater detail, with the displacements from the r iu r4g origin marked. (Adapted from [206])...

SCHEME 6.6 (a) The nucleotides of DNA and RNA drawn in the implicit manner. The circled group P is a phosphate, drawn explicitly on the right-hand side. The circled group B is a base, (b) The four DNA bases are A, C, G, and T, while, in RNA, the T is replaced by U. The red lines indicate the sites of connection of these bases to the sugar fragment.
