Lie groups unify continuous symmetry and physical law, forming a cornerstone of modern theoretical physics. At their core, Lie groups are smooth manifolds endowed with a group structure, where group operations—such as multiplication and inversion—vary continuously. This continuity allows them to model fundamental symmetries governing everything from particle dynamics to spacetime transformations. In physics, symmetries […]
