In the [[mathematics|mathematical]] field of [[representation theory]], a '''weight''' of an [[algebra over a field|algebra]] ''A'' over a field '''F''' is an [[algebra homomorphism]] from ''A'' to '''F''' – a [[linear functional]] – or equivalently, a one dimensional [[Representation (mathematics)|representation]] of ''A'' over '''F'''. It is the algebra analogue of a [[multiplicative character]] of a [[group (mathematics)|group]]. The importance of the concept, however, stems from its application to [[Lie algebra representation|representations]] of [[Lie algebra]]s and hence also to [[group representation|representations]] of [[Algebraic group|algebraic]] and [[Lie group]]s. In this context, a '''weight of a representation''' is a generalization of the notion of an [[eigenvalue]], and the corresponding [[eigenspace]] is called a '''weight space'''.

'''Radio propagation''' is the behavior of [[radio wave]]s when they are [[transmitted]], or [[wave propagation|propagated]] from one point on the [[Earth]] to another, or into various parts of the [[atmosphere]].<ref>H. P. Westman et al., (ed), ''Reference Data for Radio Engineers, Fifth Edition'', 1968, Howard W. Sams and Co., no ISBN, Library of Congress Card No. 43-14665 page 26-1</ref> As a form of [[electromagnetic radiation]], like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of [[reflection (physics)|reflection]], [[refraction]], [[diffraction]], [[absorption (electromagnetic radiation)|absorption]], [[polarization (waves)|polarization]] and [[scattering]].<ref>Demetrius T Paris and F. Kenneth Hurd, ''Basic Electromagnetic Theory'', McGraw Hill, New York 1969 ISBN -0 048470-8, Chapter 8</ref>
==Motivation and general concept==
===Weights===
Given a set ''S'' of [[matrix (mathematics)|matrices]], each of which is [[diagonalizable matrix|diagonalizable]], and any two of which [[commuting matrices|commute]], it is always possible to [[simultaneously diagonalize]] all of the elements of ''S''.<ref group="note">The converse is also true – a set of diagonalizable matrices commutes if and only if the set is simultaneously diagonalisable {{harv|Horn|Johnson|1985|pp=51–53}}.</ref><ref group="note">In fact, given a set of commuting matrices over an algebraically closed field, they are [[simultaneously triangularizable]], without needing to assume that they are diagonalizable.</ref> Equivalently, for any set ''S'' of mutually commuting [[semisimple operator|semisimple]] [[linear transformation]]s of a finite-dimensional [[vector space]] ''V'' there exists a basis of ''V'' consisting of ''{{anchor|simultaneous eigenvector}}simultaneous [[eigenvector]]s'' of all elements of ''S''. Each of these common eigenvectors ''v'' ∈ ''V'', defines a [[linear functional]] on the subalgebra ''U'' of End(''V'') generated by the set of endomorphisms ''S''; this functional is defined as the map which associates to each element of ''U'' its eigenvalue on the eigenvector ''v''. This "generalized eigenvalue" is a prototype for the notion of a weight.


Radio propagation is affected by the daily changes of [[water vapor]] in the [[troposphere]] and ionization in the [[upper atmosphere]], due to the [[Sun]]. Understanding the effects of varying conditions on radio propagation has many practical applications, from choosing frequencies for international [[shortwave]] [[Broadcasting|broadcasters]], to designing reliable [[Mobile phone|mobile telephone]] systems, to [[radio navigation]], to operation of [[radar]] systems.
The notion is closely related to the idea of a [[multiplicative character]] in [[group theory]], which is a homomorphism ''χ'' from a [[group (mathematics)|group]] ''G'' to the [[multiplicative group]] of a [[field (mathematics)|field]] '''F'''. Thus ''χ'': ''G'' → '''F'''<sup>&times;</sup> satisfies ''χ''(''e'') = 1 (where ''e'' is the [[identity element]] of ''G'') and
:<math> \chi(gh) = \chi(g)\chi(h)</math> for all ''g'', ''h'' in ''G''.
Indeed, if ''G'' [[group representation|acts]] on a vector space ''V'' over '''F''', each simultaneous eigenspace for every element of ''G'', if such exists, determines a multiplicative character on ''G''; the eigenvalue on this common eigenspace of each element of the group.


Radio propagation is also affected by several other factors determined by its path from point to point. This path can be a direct [[Line-of-sight propagation|line of sight]] path or an over-the-[[horizon]] path aided by [[refraction]] in the [[ionosphere]], which is a region between approximately 60 and 600&nbsp;km.<ref>Radiowave propagation, edited by M.Hall and L.Barclay, page 2, published by Peter Peregrinus Ltd., (1989), ISBN 0-86341-156-8</ref> Factors influencing ionospheric radio signal propagation can include [[Sporadic E propagation|sporadic-E]], spread-F, [[solar flare]]s, [[geomagnetic storm]]s, ionospheric layer tilts, and [[solar proton event]]s.
The notion of multiplicative character can be extended to any [[algebra over a field|algebra]] ''A'' over '''F''', by replacing ''χ'': ''G'' → '''F'''<sup>&times;</sup> by a [[linear map]] ''χ'': ''A'' → '''F''' with:
:<math> \chi(ab) = \chi(a)\chi(b)</math>  
for all ''a'', ''b'' in ''A''. If an algebra ''A'' [[algebra representation|acts]] on a vector space ''V'' over '''F''' to any simultaneous eigenspace corresponds an [[algebra homomorphism]] from ''A'' to '''F''' assigning to each element of ''A'' its eigenvalue.


Radio waves at different frequencies propagate in different ways. At extra low frequencies (ELF) and very low frequencies the wavelength is very much larger than the separation between the earth's surface and the D layer of the ionosphere, so electromagnetic waves may propagate in this region as a waveguide. Indeed, for frequencies below 20&nbsp;kHz, the wave propagates as a single waveguide mode with a horizontal magnetic field and vertical electric field.<ref>Radiowave propagation, edited by M.Hall and L.Barclay, published by Peter Peregrinus Ltd., page 3, (1989), ISBN 0-86341-156-8</ref> The interaction of radio waves with the ionized regions of the atmosphere makes radio propagation more complex to predict and analyze than in free space. Ionospheric radio propagation has a strong connection to [[space weather]]. A [[sudden ionospheric disturbance]] or shortwave fadeout is observed when the x-rays associated with a [[solar flares|solar flare]] ionize the ionospheric D-region.{{citation needed|date=May 2011}} Enhanced ionization in that region increases the absorption of radio signals passing through it. During the strongest solar x-ray flares, complete absorption of virtually all ionospherically propagated radio signals in the sunlit hemisphere can occur.{{citation needed|date=May 2011}} These solar flares can disrupt [[HF radio]] propagation and affect [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] accuracy.{{citation needed|date=May 2011}}
If ''A'' is a [[Lie algebra]], then the commutativity of the field and the anticommutativity of the Lie bracket imply that this map vanish on [[commutator]]s : ''χ''([a,b])=0. A '''weight''' on a Lie algebra '''g''' over a field '''F''' is a linear map ''λ'': '''g''' → '''F''' with ''λ''([''x'', ''y''])=0 for all ''x'', ''y'' in '''g'''. Any weight on a Lie algebra '''g''' vanishes on the [[derived algebra]] ['''g''','''g'''] and hence descends to a weight on the [[abelian Lie algebra]] '''g'''/['''g''','''g''']. Thus weights are primarily of interest for abelian Lie algebras, where they reduce to the simple notion of a generalized eigenvalue for space of commuting linear transformations.


Since radio propagation is not fully predictable, such services as [[Distress radiobeacon|emergency locator transmitters]], in-flight communication with ocean-crossing aircraft, and some [[television]] broadcasting have been moved to [[communications satellite]]s. A satellite link, though expensive, can offer highly predictable and stable line of sight coverage of a given area.
If ''G'' is a [[Lie group]] or an [[algebraic group]], then a multiplicative character ''θ'': ''G'' → '''F'''<sup>&times;</sup> induces a weight ''χ'' = d''θ'': '''g''' → '''F''' on its Lie algebra by differentiation. (For Lie groups, this is differentiation at the identity element of ''G'', and the algebraic group case is an abstraction using the notion of a derivation.)


==Free space propagation==
===Weight space of a representation===
Let ''V'' be a representation of a Lie algebra '''g''' over a field '''F''' and let ''λ'' be a weight of '''g'''. Then the ''weight space'' of ''V'' with weight ''λ'': '''g''' → '''F''' is the subspace
:<math>V_\lambda:=\{v\in V: \forall \xi\in \mathfrak{g},\quad  \xi\cdot v=\lambda(\xi)v\}.</math>
A ''weight of the representation'' ''V'' is a weight ''λ'' such that the corresponding weight space is nonzero. Nonzero elements of the weight space are called ''weight vectors''.


In [[free space]], all [[electromagnetic wave]]s (radio, light, X-rays, etc.) obey the [[inverse-square law]] which states that the power density of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance from a [[point source]]<ref>Westman ''Reference data '' page 26-19</ref> or:
If ''V'' is the direct sum of its weight spaces
:<math>V=\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\mathfrak{g}^*} V_\lambda</math>
then it is called a ''{{visible anchor|weight module}};'' this corresponds to having an [[eigenbasis]] (a basis of eigenvectors), i.e., being a [[diagonalizable matrix]].


:<math>\rho_P \propto \frac{1}{r^2}.</math>
Similarly, we can define a weight space ''V''<sub>''λ''</sub> for any [[representation theory|representation]] of a [[Lie group]] or an [[associative algebra]].


Doubling the distance from a transmitter means that the power density of the radiated wave at that new location is reduced to one-quarter of its previous value.
==Semisimple Lie algebras==
Let '''g''' be a [[Lie algebra]], '''h''' a [[maximal]] [[commutative]] [[Lie subalgebra]] consisting of [[Semisimple Lie algebra|semi-simple]] elements (sometimes called [[Cartan subalgebra]]) and let ''V'' be a finite dimensional representation of '''g'''. If '''g''' is [[semisimple Lie algebra|semisimple]], then ['''g''','''g'''] = '''g''' and so all weights on '''g''' are trivial. However, ''V'' is, by restriction, a representation of '''h''', and it is well known that ''V'' is a weight module for '''h''', i.e., equal to the direct sum of its weight spaces. By an abuse of language, the weights of ''V'' as a representation of '''h''' are often called weights of ''V'' as a representation of '''g'''.


The power density per surface unit is proportional to the product of the electric and magnetic field strengths. Thus, doubling the propagation path distance from the transmitter reduces each of their received field strengths over a free-space path by one-half.
Similar definitions apply to a Lie group ''G'', a maximal commutative [[Lie subgroup]] ''H'' and any representation ''V'' of ''G''. Clearly, if ''λ'' is a weight of the representation ''V'' of ''G'', it is also a weight of ''V'' as a representation of the Lie algebra '''g''' of ''G''.


==Modes==
If ''V'' is the [[Adjoint representation of a Lie algebra|adjoint representation]] of  '''g''', its weights are called [[root system|roots]], the weight spaces are called root spaces, and weight vectors are sometimes called root vectors.


{| class="toccolours" style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="550" align="center"
We now assume that '''g''' is semisimple, with a chosen Cartan subalgebra '''h''' and corresponding [[root system]]. Let us suppose also that a choice of [[positive root]]s Φ<sup>+</sup> has been fixed. This is equivalent to the choice of a set of [[simple root]]s.

===Surface modes (groundwave)===
===Ordering on the space of weights===
{{Main|Surface wave}}
Let <math>\mathfrak{h}_0^*</math> be the real subspace of '''h'''* (if it is complex) generated by the roots of '''g'''.
Lower frequencies (between 30 and 3,000&nbsp;kHz) have the property of following the curvature of the earth via [[groundwave]] propagation in the majority of occurrences.


In this mode the radio wave propagates by interacting with the semi-conductive surface of the earth. The wave "clings" to the surface and thus follows the curvature of the earth. Vertical [[polarization (waves)|polarization]] is used to alleviate short circuiting the electric field through the conductivity of the ground. Since the ground is not a perfect electrical conductor, ground waves are attenuated rapidly as they follow the earth’s surface. [[Attenuation]] is proportional to the frequency making this mode mainly useful for
There are two concepts how to define an [[Order theory|ordering]] of <math>\mathfrak{h}_0^*</math>.
[[low frequency|LF]] and [[VLF]] frequencies (see also [[Earth-ionosphere waveguide]]).


Today LF and VLF are mostly used for [[time signal]]s, and for [[military communications]], especially one-way transmissions to ships and submarines, although radio amateurs have an allocation at 137&nbsp;kHz in some parts of the world. Radio broadcasting using surface wave propagation uses the higher portion of the LF range in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The first one is
:''&mu;'' ≤ ''&lambda;'' if and only if ''λ'' &minus; ''μ'' is nonnegative linear combination of [[simple root]]s.


Early commercial and professional radio services relied exclusively on [[long wave]], low frequencies and ground-wave propagation. To prevent interference with these services, amateur and experimental transmitters were restricted to the higher (HF) frequencies, felt to be useless since their ground-wave range was limited. Upon discovery of the other propagation modes possible at [[medium wave]] and [[short wave]] frequencies, the advantages of HF for commercial and military purposes became apparent. Amateur experimentation was then confined only to authorized frequency segments in that range.<ref>{{cite book

===Direct modes (line-of-sight)===
===Integral weight===
[[Line-of-sight propagation|Line-of-sight]] is the direct propagation of radio waves between antennas that are visible to each other.  This is probably the most common of the radio propagation modes at [[VHF]] and higher frequencies.  Because radio signals can travel through many non-metallic objects, radio can be picked up through walls. This is still line-of-sight propagation. Examples would include propagation between a satellite and a ground antenna or reception of television signals from a local TV transmitter.
A weight ''λ'' ∈ '''h'''* is ''integral'' (or '''g'''-integral), if <math>\lambda(H_\gamma)\in\Z</math> for each [[coroot]] ''H''<sub>γ</sub> such that γ is a positive root.


[[Ground plane]] [[Reflection (physics)|reflection]] effects are an important factor in VHF line of sight propagation. The interference between the direct beam line-of-sight and the ground reflected beam often leads to an effective inverse-fourth-power i.e. (1/distance)<sup>4</sup> law for ground-plane limited radiation. [Need reference to inverse-fourth-power law + ground plane. Drawings may clarify]
The fundamental weights <math>\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_n</math> are defined by the property that they form a basis of '''h'''* dual to the set of [[simple coroot]]s <math>H_{\alpha_1}, \ldots, H_{\alpha_n}</math>.


===Ionospheric modes (skywave)===
Hence ''λ'' is integral if it is an integral combination of the fundamental weights. The set of all '''g'''-integral weights is a [[lattice (mathematics)|lattice]]{{dn|date=May 2012}} in '''h'''* called ''weight lattice'' for '''g''', denoted by ''P''('''g''').
{{Main|Skywave}}
[[Skywave]] propagation, also referred to as [[Skip (radio)|skip]], is any of the modes that rely on [[refraction]] of radio waves in the [[ionosphere]], which is made up of one or more ionized layers in the upper [[Earth's atmosphere|atmosphere]]. F2-layer is the most important ionospheric layer for long-distance, multiple-hop HF propagation, though F1, E, and D-layers also play significant roles. The D-layer, when present during sunlight periods, causes significant amount of signal loss, as does the E-layer whose [[maximum usable frequency]] can rise to 4&nbsp;MHz and above and thus block higher frequency signals from reaching the F2-layer. The layers, or more appropriately "regions", are directly affected by the sun on a daily [[diurnal cycle]], a seasonal cycle and the 11-year [[sunspot cycle]] and determine the utility of these modes. During solar maxima, or sunspot highs and peaks, the whole HF range up to 30&nbsp;MHz can be used usually around the clock and F2 propagation up to 50&nbsp;MHz is observed frequently depending upon daily solar flux [[10.7cm radiation]] values. During [[solar minima]], or minimum sunspot counts down to zero, propagation of frequencies above 15&nbsp;MHz is generally unavailable.


Although the claim is commonly made that two-way HF propagation along a given path is reciprocal, that is, if the signal from location A reaches location B at a good strength, the signal from location B will be similar at station A because the same path is traversed in both directions. However, the ionosphere is far too complex and constantly changing to support the reciprocity theorem. The path is never exactly the same in both directions.<ref>G.W. Hull, "Nonreciprocal characteristics of a 1500km HF Ionospheric Path," ''Proceedings of the IEEE'', 55, March 1967, pp. 426-427; "Origin of non-reciprocity on high-frequency ionospheric paths," ''Nature'', pp. 483-484, and cited references.</ref> In brief, conditions at the two terminii of a path generally cause dissimilar polarization shifts, dissimilar splits into ordinary rays and extraordinary or ''Pedersen rays'' which are erratic and impossibly identical or similar due to variations in ionization density, shifting zenith angles, effects of the earth's magnetic DIPOLE contours, antenna radiation patterns, ground conditions and other variables.
A weight ''λ'' of the Lie group ''G'' is called integral, if for each <math>t\in\mathfrak{h}</math> such that <math>\exp(t)=1\in G,\,\,\lambda(t)\in 2\pi i \mathbf{Z}</math>. For ''G'' semisimple, the set of all ''G''-integral weights is a sublattice <math>P(G)\subset P(\mathfrak{g})</math>. If ''G'' is [[simply connected]], then ''P''(''G'') = ''P''('''g'''). If ''G'' is not simply connected, then the lattice ''P''(''G'') is smaller than ''P''('''g''') and their [[quotient (group theory)|quotient]] is isomorphic to the [[fundamental group]] of ''G''.


Forecasting of skywave modes is of considerable interest to [[amateur radio]] operators and commercial [[ocean|marine]] and [[aircraft]] communications, and also to [[shortwave]] broadcasters.  Real-time propagation can be assessed by listening for transmissions from specific [[Radio propagation beacon|beacon transmitters]].
===Dominant weight===
A weight ''λ'' is ''dominant'' if <math>\lambda(H_\gamma)\geq 0</math> for each [[coroot]] ''H''<sub>γ</sub> such that ''γ'' is a positive root. Equivalently, ''λ'' is dominant, if it is a non-negative linear combination of the [[weight (representation theory)#fundamental weight|fundamental weight]]s.


====Meteor scattering====
The [[convex hull]] of the dominant weights is sometimes called the ''fundamental Weyl chamber''.
Meteor scattering relies on reflecting radio waves off the intensely ionized columns of air generated by [[meteor]]s.  While this mode is very short duration, often only from a fraction of second to couple of seconds per event, digital [[Meteor burst communications]] allows remote stations to communicate to a station that may be hundreds of miles up to over 1,000 miles (1,600&nbsp;km) away, without the expense required for a satellite link.  This mode is most generally useful on VHF frequencies between 30 and 250&nbsp;MHz.


====Auroral backscatter====
Sometimes, the term ''dominant weight'' is used to denote a dominant (in the above sense) and [[integral weight]].
Intense columns of [[Aurora (astronomy)|Auroral]] ionization at 100&nbsp;km altitudes within the auroral oval [[backscatter]] radio waves, perhaps most notably on HF and VHF. Backscatter is angle-sensitive—incident ray vs. magnetic field line of the column must be very close to right-angle. Random motions of electrons spiraling around the field lines create a Doppler-spread that broadens the spectra of the emission to more or less noise-like&mdash;depending on how high radio frequency is used. The radio-auroras are observed mostly at high latitudes and rarely extend down to middle latitudes. The occurrence of radio-auroras depends on solar activity ([[Solar flare|flares]], [[coronal holes]], [[Coronal mass ejection|CME]]s) and annually the events are more numerous during solar cycle maxima. Radio aurora includes the so-called afternoon radio aurora which produces stronger but more distorted signals and after the Harang-minima, the late-night radio aurora (sub-storming phase) returns with variable signal strength and lesser doppler spread. The propagation range for this predominantly back-scatter mode extends up to about 2000&nbsp;km in east-west plane, but strongest signals are observed most frequently from the north at nearby sites on same latitudes.


Rarely, a strong radio-aurora is followed by Auroral-E, which resembles both propagation types in some ways.
===Highest weight===
A weight ''λ'' of a representation ''V'' is called ''highest-weight'', if no other weight of ''V'' is larger than ''λ''. Sometimes, it is assumed that a highest weight is a weight, such that all other weights of ''V'' are strictly smaller than ''λ'' in the partial ordering given above.  The term ''highest weight'' denotes often the highest weight of a "highest-weight module".


====Sporadic-E propagation====
Similarly, we define the ''lowest weight''.
{{Main|Sporadic E propagation}}
[[Sporadic E]] (Es) propagation can be observed on HF and VHF bands.<ref name="Davis">{{cite book |author=Davies, Kenneth |title=Ionospheric Radio |isbn= 0-86341-186-X |series=IEE Electromagnetic Waves Series #31
|year=1990 |publisher=Peter Peregrinus Ltd/The Institution of Electrical Engineers
|location=London, UK|pages=184–186 }}</ref>  It must not be confused with ordinary HF E-layer propagation. Sporadic-E at mid-latitudes occurs mostly during summer season, from May to August in the northern hemisphere and from November to February in the southern hemisphere. There is no single cause for this mysterious propagation mode. The reflection takes place in a thin sheet of ionisation around 90&nbsp;km height. The ionisation patches drift westwards at speeds of few hundred km per hour. There is a weak periodicity noted during the season and typically Es is observed on 1 to 3 successive days and remains absent for a few days to reoccur again. Es do not occur during small hours; the events usually begin at dawn, and there is a peak in the afternoon and a second peak in the evening.<ref>George Jacobs and Theodore J. Cohen, ''Shortwave Propagation Handbook''. Hicksville, New York: CQ Publishing (1982), pp. 130-135. ISBN 978-0-943016-00-9</ref> Es propagation is usually gone by local midnight.


Observation of [[radio propagation beacon]]s operating around 28.2&nbsp;MHz, 50&nbsp;MHz and 70&nbsp;MHz, indicates that maximum observed frequency (MOF) for Es is found to be lurking around 30&nbsp;MHz on most days during the summer season, but sometimes MOF may shoot up to 100&nbsp;MHz or even more in ten minutes to decline slowly during the next few hours. The peak-phase includes oscillation of MOF with periodicity of approximately 5...10 minutes. The propagation range for Es single-hop is typically 1000 to 2000&nbsp;km, but with multi-hop, double range is observed. The signals are very strong but also with slow deep fading.
The space of all possible weights is a vector space. Let's fix a [[total ordering]] of this vector space such that a nonnegative [[linear combination]] of positive vectors with at least one nonzero coefficient is another positive vector.


===Tropospheric modes===
Then, a representation is said to have ''highest weight'' ''λ'' if ''λ'' is a weight and all its other weights are less than ''λ''.


====Tropospheric scattering====
Similarly, it is said to have ''lowest weight'' ''λ'' if ''λ'' is a weight and all its other weights are greater than it.
At [[VHF]] and higher frequencies, small variations (turbulence) in the density of the [[troposphere|atmosphere]] at a height of around 6 miles (10&nbsp;km) can scatter some of the normally line-of-sight beam of radio frequency energy back toward the ground, allowing over-the-horizon communication between stations as far as 500 miles (800&nbsp;km) apart.  The military developed the [[White Alice Communications System]] covering all of Alaska, using this [[tropospheric scatter]]ing principle.


====Tropospheric ducting====
A weight vector <math>v_\lambda \in V</math> of weight ''λ'' is called a ''highest-weight vector'', or ''vector of highest weight'', if all other weights of ''V'' are smaller than ''λ''.  
{{main|Tropospheric ducting}}
Sudden changes in the atmosphere's vertical moisture content and temperature profiles can on random occasions make [[microwave]] and [[UHF]] & [[VHF]] signals propagate hundreds of kilometers up to about 2,000 kilometers (1,300&nbsp;mi)&mdash;and for ducting mode even farther&mdash;beyond the normal radio-horizon. The [[Inversion (meteorology)|inversion layer]] is mostly observed over high pressure regions, but there are several tropospheric weather conditions which create these randomly occurring propagation modes. Inversion layer's altitude for non-ducting is typically found between 100 meters (300&nbsp;ft) to about 1 kilometer (3,000&nbsp;ft) and for ducting about 500 meters to 3 kilometers (1,600 to 10,000&nbsp;ft), and the duration of the events are typically from several hours up to several days. Higher frequencies experience the most dramatic increase of signal strengths, while on low-VHF and HF the effect is negligible. Propagation path attenuation may be below free-space loss. Some of the lesser inversion types related to warm ground and cooler air moisture content occur regularly at certain times of the year and time of day. A typical example could be the late summer, early morning tropospheric enhancements that bring in signals from distances up to few hundred kilometers for a couple of hours, until undone by the Sun's warming effect.


====Tropospheric delay====
===Highest-weight module===
This is a source of error in radio ranging techniques, such as the [[GPS#Atmospheric_effects|Global Positioning System]] (GPS).<ref>[http://www.ncg.knaw.nl/Publicaties/Geodesy/pdf/56Kleijer.pdf Frank Kleijer (2004), Troposphere Modeling and Filtering for Precise GPS Leveling]. Ph. D. thesis, Department of Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning, Delft University of Technology</ref> See also the page of [[GPS meteorology]].
A representation ''V'' of '''g''' is called ''highest-weight module'' if it is generated by a weight vector ''v'' ∈ ''V'' that is annihilated by the action of all [[positive root]] spaces in '''g'''.


====Rain scattering====
This is something more special than a '''g'''-[[module (mathematics)|module]] with a [[highest weight]].  
Rain scattering is purely a microwave propagation mode and is best observed around 10&nbsp;GHz, but extends down to a few [[gigahertz]]—the limit being the size of the scattering particle size vs. [[wavelength]]. This mode scatters signals mostly forwards and backwards when using [[horizontal polarization]] and side-scattering with [[vertical polarization]]. Forward-scattering typically yields propagation ranges of 800&nbsp;km. Scattering from snowflakes and ice pellets also occurs, but scattering from ice without watery surface is less effective. The most common application for this phenomenon is microwave rain radar, but rain scatter propagation can be a nuisance causing unwanted signals to intermittently propagate where they are not anticipated or desired. Similar reflections may also occur from insects though at lower altitudes and shorter range. Rain also causes attenuation of point-to-point and satellite microwave links. Attenuation values up to 30 dB have been observed on 30&nbsp;GHz during heavy tropical rain.


====Airplane scattering====
Similarly we can define a highest-weight module for representation of a [[Lie group]] or an [[associative algebra]].
Airplane scattering (or most often reflection) is observed on VHF through microwaves and, besides back-scattering, yields momentary propagation up to 500&nbsp;km even in mountainous terrain. The most common back-scatter applications are air-traffic radar, bistatic forward-scatter guided-missile and airplane-detecting trip-wire radar, and the US space radar.


====Lightning scattering====
===Verma module===
Lightning scattering has sometimes been observed on VHF and UHF over distance of about 500&nbsp;km. The hot lightning channel scatters radio-waves for a fraction of a second. The RF noise burst from the lightning makes the initial part of the open channel unusable and the ionization  disappears soon because of combination at low altitude high atmospheric pressure. Although the hot lightning channel is briefly observable with microwave radar, no practical use for this mode has been found in communications.

===Other effects===
For each weight ''λ'' ∈ '''h'''*, there exists a unique (up to isomorphism) [[irreducible (representation theory)|simple]] highest-weight '''g'''-module with highest weight ''λ'', which is denoted ''L''(''λ'').


==== Diffraction ====
It can be shown that each highest weight module with highest weight ''λ'' is a [[quotient module|quotient]] of the [[Verma module]] ''M''(''λ''). This is just a restatement of ''universality property'' in the definition of a Verma module.  
[[Knife-Edge diffraction]] is the propagation mode where radio waves are bent around sharp edges. For example, this mode is used to send radio signals over a mountain range when a [[line-of-sight propagation|line-of-sight]] path is not available. However, the angle cannot be too sharp or the signal will not diffract. The diffraction mode requires increased signal strength, so higher power or better antennas will be needed than for an equivalent line-of-sight path.


Diffraction depends on the relationship between the wavelength and the size of the obstacle. In other words, the size of the obstacle in wavelengths. Lower frequencies diffract around large smooth obstacles such as hills more easily. For example, in many cases where VHF (or higher frequency) communication is not possible due to shadowing by a hill, one finds that it is still possible to communicate using the upper part of the HF band where the surface wave is of little use.
A highest-weight module is a weight module. The weight spaces in a highest-weight module are always finite dimensional.
 
Diffraction phenomena by small obstacles are also important at high frequencies. Signals for urban [[cellular telephony]] tend to be dominated by ground-plane effects as they travel over the rooftops of the urban environment. They then diffract over roof edges into the street, where [[multipath propagation]], absorption and diffraction phenomena dominate.
 
==== Absorption ====
Low-frequency radio waves travel easily through brick and stone and VLF even penetrates sea-water. As the frequency rises, absorption effects become more important. At [[microwave]] or higher frequencies, absorption by molecular resonance in the atmosphere (mostly water, H<sub>2</sub>O and oxygen, O<sub>2</sub>) is a major factor in radio propagation. For example, in the 58–60&nbsp;GHz band, there is a major absorption peak which makes this band useless for long-distance use. This phenomenon was first discovered during [[radar]] research in [[World War II]]. Beyond around 400&nbsp;GHz, the Earth's atmosphere blocks some segments of spectra while still passes some—this is true up to UV light, which is blocked by ozone, but visible light and some of the near-infrared is transmitted.
 
Heavy rain and snow also affect microwave reception.
 
==Measuring HF propagation==
HF propagation conditions can be simulated using [[radio propagation model]]s, such as [[VOACAP|the Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program]], and realtime measurements can be done using [[Chirp Transmitter|chirp transmitters]]. For radio amateurs the [[WSPR (amateur radio software)|WSPR mode]] provides maps with real time propagation conditions between a network of transmitters and receivers.<ref>WSPR Propagation Conditions Map: http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/map</ref> As of today even without special beacons the realtime propagation conditions can be measured: a worldwide network of receivers decodes morse code signals on amateur radio frequencies in realtime and provides sophisticated search functions and propagation maps for every station received.<ref>Network of CW Signal Decoders for Realtime Analysis: http://www.reversebeacon.net/</ref>

Revision as of 03:59, 11 August 2014

In the mathematical field of representation theory, a weight of an algebra A over a field F is an algebra homomorphism from A to F – a linear functional – or equivalently, a one dimensional representation of A over F. It is the algebra analogue of a multiplicative character of a group. The importance of the concept, however, stems from its application to representations of Lie algebras and hence also to representations of algebraic and Lie groups. In this context, a weight of a representation is a generalization of the notion of an eigenvalue, and the corresponding eigenspace is called a weight space.

Motivation and general concept

Weights

Given a set S of matrices, each of which is diagonalizable, and any two of which commute, it is always possible to simultaneously diagonalize all of the elements of S.[note 1][note 2] Equivalently, for any set S of mutually commuting semisimple linear transformations of a finite-dimensional vector space V there exists a basis of V consisting of <simultaneous eigenvector>...</simultaneous eigenvector>simultaneous eigenvectors of all elements of S. Each of these common eigenvectors vV, defines a linear functional on the subalgebra U of End(V) generated by the set of endomorphisms S; this functional is defined as the map which associates to each element of U its eigenvalue on the eigenvector v. This "generalized eigenvalue" is a prototype for the notion of a weight.

The notion is closely related to the idea of a multiplicative character in group theory, which is a homomorphism χ from a group G to the multiplicative group of a field F. Thus χ: GF× satisfies χ(e) = 1 (where e is the identity element of G) and

χ(gh)=χ(g)χ(h) for all g, h in G.

Indeed, if G acts on a vector space V over F, each simultaneous eigenspace for every element of G, if such exists, determines a multiplicative character on G; the eigenvalue on this common eigenspace of each element of the group.

The notion of multiplicative character can be extended to any algebra A over F, by replacing χ: GF× by a linear map χ: AF with:

χ(ab)=χ(a)χ(b)

for all a, b in A. If an algebra A acts on a vector space V over F to any simultaneous eigenspace corresponds an algebra homomorphism from A to F assigning to each element of A its eigenvalue.

If A is a Lie algebra, then the commutativity of the field and the anticommutativity of the Lie bracket imply that this map vanish on commutators : χ([a,b])=0. A weight on a Lie algebra g over a field F is a linear map λ: gF with λ([x, y])=0 for all x, y in g. Any weight on a Lie algebra g vanishes on the derived algebra [g,g] and hence descends to a weight on the abelian Lie algebra g/[g,g]. Thus weights are primarily of interest for abelian Lie algebras, where they reduce to the simple notion of a generalized eigenvalue for space of commuting linear transformations.

If G is a Lie group or an algebraic group, then a multiplicative character θ: GF× induces a weight χ = dθ: gF on its Lie algebra by differentiation. (For Lie groups, this is differentiation at the identity element of G, and the algebraic group case is an abstraction using the notion of a derivation.)

Weight space of a representation

Let V be a representation of a Lie algebra g over a field F and let λ be a weight of g. Then the weight space of V with weight λ: gF is the subspace

Vλ:={vV:ξg,ξv=λ(ξ)v}.

A weight of the representation V is a weight λ such that the corresponding weight space is nonzero. Nonzero elements of the weight space are called weight vectors.

If V is the direct sum of its weight spaces

V=λg*Vλ

then it is called a Template:Visible anchor; this corresponds to having an eigenbasis (a basis of eigenvectors), i.e., being a diagonalizable matrix.

Similarly, we can define a weight space Vλ for any representation of a Lie group or an associative algebra.

Semisimple Lie algebras

Let g be a Lie algebra, h a maximal commutative Lie subalgebra consisting of semi-simple elements (sometimes called Cartan subalgebra) and let V be a finite dimensional representation of g. If g is semisimple, then [g,g] = g and so all weights on g are trivial. However, V is, by restriction, a representation of h, and it is well known that V is a weight module for h, i.e., equal to the direct sum of its weight spaces. By an abuse of language, the weights of V as a representation of h are often called weights of V as a representation of g.

Similar definitions apply to a Lie group G, a maximal commutative Lie subgroup H and any representation V of G. Clearly, if λ is a weight of the representation V of G, it is also a weight of V as a representation of the Lie algebra g of G.

If V is the adjoint representation of g, its weights are called roots, the weight spaces are called root spaces, and weight vectors are sometimes called root vectors.

We now assume that g is semisimple, with a chosen Cartan subalgebra h and corresponding root system. Let us suppose also that a choice of positive roots Φ+ has been fixed. This is equivalent to the choice of a set of simple roots.

Ordering on the space of weights

Let h0* be the real subspace of h* (if it is complex) generated by the roots of g.

There are two concepts how to define an ordering of h0*.

The first one is

μλ if and only if λμ is nonnegative linear combination of simple roots.

The second concept is given by an element fh0 and

μλ if and only if μ(f) ≤ λ(f).

Usually, f is chosen so that β(f) > 0 for each positive root β.

Integral weight

A weight λh* is integral (or g-integral), if λ(Hγ) for each coroot Hγ such that γ is a positive root.

The fundamental weights ω1,,ωn are defined by the property that they form a basis of h* dual to the set of simple coroots Hα1,,Hαn.

Hence λ is integral if it is an integral combination of the fundamental weights. The set of all g-integral weights is a latticeTemplate:Dn in h* called weight lattice for g, denoted by P(g).

A weight λ of the Lie group G is called integral, if for each th such that exp(t)=1G,λ(t)2πiZ. For G semisimple, the set of all G-integral weights is a sublattice P(G)P(g). If G is simply connected, then P(G) = P(g). If G is not simply connected, then the lattice P(G) is smaller than P(g) and their quotient is isomorphic to the fundamental group of G.

Dominant weight

A weight λ is dominant if λ(Hγ)0 for each coroot Hγ such that γ is a positive root. Equivalently, λ is dominant, if it is a non-negative linear combination of the fundamental weights.

The convex hull of the dominant weights is sometimes called the fundamental Weyl chamber.

Sometimes, the term dominant weight is used to denote a dominant (in the above sense) and integral weight.

Highest weight

A weight λ of a representation V is called highest-weight, if no other weight of V is larger than λ. Sometimes, it is assumed that a highest weight is a weight, such that all other weights of V are strictly smaller than λ in the partial ordering given above. The term highest weight denotes often the highest weight of a "highest-weight module".

Similarly, we define the lowest weight.

The space of all possible weights is a vector space. Let's fix a total ordering of this vector space such that a nonnegative linear combination of positive vectors with at least one nonzero coefficient is another positive vector.

Then, a representation is said to have highest weight λ if λ is a weight and all its other weights are less than λ.

Similarly, it is said to have lowest weight λ if λ is a weight and all its other weights are greater than it.

A weight vector vλV of weight λ is called a highest-weight vector, or vector of highest weight, if all other weights of V are smaller than λ.

Highest-weight module

A representation V of g is called highest-weight module if it is generated by a weight vector vV that is annihilated by the action of all positive root spaces in g.

This is something more special than a g-module with a highest weight.

Similarly we can define a highest-weight module for representation of a Lie group or an associative algebra.

Verma module

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.

For each weight λh*, there exists a unique (up to isomorphism) simple highest-weight g-module with highest weight λ, which is denoted L(λ).

It can be shown that each highest weight module with highest weight λ is a quotient of the Verma module M(λ). This is just a restatement of universality property in the definition of a Verma module.

A highest-weight module is a weight module. The weight spaces in a highest-weight module are always finite dimensional.
