On The Ranks Of String C-Group Representations For Symplectic And Orthogonal Groups, Peter A. Brooksbank Jan 2020

On The Ranks Of String C-Group Representations For Symplectic And Orthogonal Groups, Peter A. Brooksbank

Faculty Journal Articles

We determine the ranks of string C-group representations of 4-dimensional projective symplectic groups over a finite field, and comment on those of higher-dimensional symplectic and orthogonal groups.


Exact Sequences Of Inner Automorphisms Of Tensors, Peter A. Brooksbank Jan 2020

Exact Sequences Of Inner Automorphisms Of Tensors, Peter A. Brooksbank

Faculty Journal Articles

We produce a long exact sequence whose terms are unit groups of associative algebras that behave as inner automorphisms of a given tensor. Our sequence generalizes known sequences for associative and non-associative algebras. In a manner similar to those, our sequence facilitates inductive reasoning about, and calculation of the groups of symmetries of a tensor. The new insights these methods afford can be applied to problems ranging from understanding algebraic structures to distinguishing entangled states in particle physics.
