It is a Lie group if K is the real or complex field or quaternions.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.”
—Sarvepalli, Sir Radhakrishnan (1888–1975)
