The 26 dimensional space of bosonic string theory could be denoted with alphabetical vectors.
[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,].

The 196,883 dimensions of the monster group could be represented with all possible sequences of the first 21 letters plus all possible sequences of the last seven letters, plus one more symbol, presumably "a".

So [a, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac ... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv, ttttttt, ttttttu, .... zzzzzzz ]

Isn't it better to simply use subscripts for these types of vectors?
 
A bit of a pedantic comment, but 196 883 is not the dimension of the group. It is the dimension of the minimal faithful representation (over the complex numbers).
 
What's the point of this thread?

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
