Klein's "Erlanger Programm": do traces of it exist in physical theories?
arXiv:1510.08319
Abstract
A possible influence of Klein's Erlangen program on physical theories is investigated. While some connections are found, it is concluded that Lie's theory of transformation groups and Lie algebras have had a much larger impact. In this context, an extension to tangential Lie algebroids is discussed.
