If G is a Lie group or an algebraic group, then a multiplicative character θ: G → F < sup >×</ sup > induces a weight χ

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

Similarly, we can define a weight space V < sub > λ </ sub > for any representation of a Lie group or an associative algebra.

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.

A weight λ of the Lie group G is called integral, if for each t in h such that.

The definition can be extended further to tensor densities of weight w for any real w. If T is such a tensor density, then its Lie derivative is a tensor density of the same type and weight.

Semisimple Lie algebras are classified in terms of the weights of the adjoint representation, the so-called root system ; in a similar manner all finite-dimensional irreducible representations can be understood in terms of weights ; see weight ( representation theory ) for details.

Let be the Cartan matrix of the Kac-Moody algebra, and let q be a nonzero complex number distinct from 1, then the quantum group, U < sub > q </ sub >( G ), where G is the Lie algebra whose Cartan matrix is A, is defined as the unital associative algebra with generators ( where λ is an element of the weight lattice, i. e. for all i ), and and ( for simple roots, ), subject to the following relations:

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.

If G is a Kac-Moody algebra, then in any irreducible highest weight representation of U < sub > q </ sub >( G ), with highest weight, the multiplicities of the weights are equal to their multiplicities in an irreducible representation of U ( G ) with equal highest weight.

Finally, weight of the chain is represented by ( 0, − λgs ) where λ is the mass per unit length, g is the acceleration of gravity and s is the length of chain between c and r.

If an arithmetic mean was used instead of a geometric mean, the financial viability is given more weight because its numeric range is larger-so a small percentage change in the financial rating ( e. g. going from 80 to 90 ) makes a much larger difference in the arithmetic mean than a large percentage change in environmental sustainability ( e. g. going from 2 to 5 ).

The remaining 8. 33 % of the coin's weight ( 2. 826 g ) is copper ( an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns ), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins.

Weight is the gravitational force acting on a given body — which differs depending on the gravitational pull of the opposing body ( e. g. a person's weight on Earth vs on the Moon ) — while mass is an intrinsic property of that body that never changes.

Currently the entire Earth contains over 75 billion tons ( 150 trillion pounds or about 6. 8 x 10 < sup > 13 </ sup > kilograms ) of biomass ( life ), which lives within various environments within the biosphere .< ref > The figure " about one-half of one percent " takes into account the following ( See, e. g.,, which takes global average weight as 60 kg.

), the total human biomass is the average weight multiplied by the current human population of approximately 6. 5 billion ( see, e. g., ): Assuming 60 – 70 kg to be the average human mass ( approximately 130 – 150 lb on the average ), an approximation of total global human mass of between 390 billion ( 390 × 10 < sup > 9 </ sup >) and 455 billion kg ( between 845 billion and 975 billion lb, or about 423 million – 488 million short tons ).
