An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In mathematics, Birkhoff factorization or Birkhoff decomposition, introduced by George David Birkhoff, is the factorization of an invertible matrix M with coefficients that are Laurent polynomials in z into a product M = M+M0M−, where M+ has entries that are polynomials in z, M0 is diagonal, and M− has entries that are polynomials in z−1. There are several variations where the general linear group is replaced by some other reductive algebraic group, due to Alexander Grothendieck.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • In mathematics, Birkhoff factorization or Birkhoff decomposition, introduced by George David Birkhoff, is the factorization of an invertible matrix M with coefficients that are Laurent polynomials in z into a product M = M+M0M−, where M+ has entries that are polynomials in z, M0 is diagonal, and M− has entries that are polynomials in z−1. There are several variations where the general linear group is replaced by some other reductive algebraic group, due to Alexander Grothendieck. Birkhoff factorization implies the Birkhoff–Grothendieck theorem of that vector bundles over the projective line are sums of line bundles. Birkhoff factorization follows from the Bruhat decomposition for affine Kac–Moody groups (or loop groups), and conversely the Bruhat decomposition for the affine general linear group follows from Birkhoff factorization together with the Bruhat decomposition for the ordinary general linear group.
