representation theory [‚rep·ri‚zen′tā·shən ‚thē·ə·rē]

(mathematics)

The study of groups by the use of their representations.

The determination of representations of specific groups.

(quantum mechanics)

Quantum-mechanical device in which one selects the common eigenfunctions of a complete set of quantum-mechanical operators as a basis of vectors in a Hilbert space, and expresses wave functions and operators in terms of column matrices and square matrices, respectively, which correspond to this basis.
