Representation theory

branch of mathematics that studies representations of abstract algebraic structures as linear transformations on vector spaces

Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules over these abstract algebraic structures.
