Lie Algebras and Lie Groups
A faithful representation is a type of representation of a group that accurately reflects the group's structure and actions within a vector space or algebra. This means that the representation preserves the group's operations, ensuring that distinct elements in the group are represented by distinct transformations in the vector space. In this sense, a faithful representation allows us to understand the group through its action without losing any essential features.
