Fundamental group of the special orthogonal group SO(n) Question: What is the fundamental group of the special orthogonal group SO(n) S O (n), n> 2 n> 2? Clarification: The answer usually given is: Z2 Z 2 But I would like to see a proof of that and an isomorphism π1(SO(n),En) → Z2 π 1 (S O (n), E n) → Z 2 that is as explicit as possible I require a neat criterion to check, if a path in SO(n) S O (n) is null-homotopic or not Idea 1: Maybe
A game problem about turn order based on the game state About two years ago I came up with this problem and I still can't find the solution, so I need help with it Dad and his son are ordering a pizza The pizza arrives and son cuts it in finite number
Why $\\operatorname{Spin}(n)$ is the double cover of $SO(n)$? You can let $\text {Spin} (n)$ act on $\mathbb {S}^ {n-1}$ through $\text {SO} (n)$ Since $\text {Spin} (n-1)\subset\text {Spin} (n)$ maps to $\text {SO} (n-1)\subset\text {SO} (n)$, you could then use the argument directly for $\text {Spin} (n)$, using that $\text {Spin} (3)$ is simply connected because $\text {Spin} (3)\cong\mathbb {S}^3$ I'm not aware of another natural geometric object
Dimension of SO (n) and its generators - Mathematics Stack Exchange The generators of SO(n) S O (n) are pure imaginary antisymmetric n × n n × n matrices How can this fact be used to show that the dimension of SO(n) S O (n) is n(n−1) 2 n (n 1) 2? I know that an antisymmetric matrix has n(n−1) 2 n (n 1) 2 degrees of freedom, but I can't take this idea any further in the demonstration of the proof Thoughts?
How to find the difference between the sons and mothers age if it . . . A son had recently visited his mom and found out that the two digits that form his age (eg :24) when reversed form his mother's age (eg: 42) Later he goes back to his place and finds out that this whole 'age' reversed process occurs 6 times And if they (mom + son) were lucky it would happen again in future for two more times
Prove that the manifold $SO(n)$ is connected The question really is that simple: Prove that the manifold SO(n) ⊂ GL(n,R) S O (n) ⊂ G L (n, R) is connected it is very easy to see that the elements of SO(n) S O (n) are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of orthonormal basis of Rn R n (the set of rows of the matrix of an element of SO(n) S O (n) is such a basis) My idea was to show that given any orthonormal basis (ai)n1 (a i
What is the relationship between SL (n) and SO (n)? To add some intuition to this, for vectors in Rn R n, SL(n) S L (n) is the space of all the transformations with determinant 1 1, or in other words, all transformations that keep the volume constant This is because the determinant is what one multiplies within the integral to get the volume in the transformed space SO(n) S O (n) is the subset in which the transformation is orthogonal (RTR
