fixed-point subspace


Let ΣΓ be a subgroupMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath where Γ is a compact Lie Group acting on a vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath V. The fixed-point subspace of Σ is

Fix(Σ)={xVσx=x,σΣ}

Fix(Σ) is a linear subspace of V since

Fix(Σ)=σΣker(σ-I)

where I is the identityPlanetmathPlanetmath. If it is important to specify the space V we use the following notation FixV(Σ).
