infinitesimal transformation : ウィキペディア英語版 | infinitesimal transformation
In mathematics, an infinitesimal transformation is a limiting form of ''small'' transformation. For example one may talk about an infinitesimal rotation of a rigid body, in three-dimensional space. This is conventionally represented by a 3×3 skew-symmetric matrix ''A''. It is not the matrix of an actual rotation in space; but for small real values of a parameter ε : a small rotation, up to quantities of order ε2. ==History== A comprehensive theory of infinitesimal transformations was first given by Sophus Lie. This was at the heart of his work, on what are now called Lie groups and their accompanying Lie algebras; and the identification of their role in geometry and especially the theory of differential equations. The properties of an abstract Lie algebra are exactly those definitive of infinitesimal transformations, just as the axioms of group theory embody symmetry. The term "Lie algebra" was introduced in 1934 by Hermann Weyl, for what had until then been known as the ''algebra of infinitesimal transformations'' of a Lie group.
