Oblique (2008) is a film by the Norwegian artist Knut Åsdam (1968).
Synopsis
The 13 minute film Oblique (2008) is an articulation of identity in transition. The entire film was shot on a train moving through a continuous mass built from cities and their adjoining regions. The characters are traveling in the suspended generic space of the train through regions composite of old and new economies and old and new social realities: Newly built outer areæ around the cities, construction sites, institutional and office buildings, transitory places, between growth and collapse, marked by quasi-contradictory processes of economic progress and development of slums. On the train coach itself, a targeted but sometimes absurd narrative plays itself out as a linguistic reaction to the time and place.
Urban environments, and their heterotopic sites, are locations for Knut Åsdam's investigations into social design, patterns of behavior and modes of subjectivity, with a particular focus on spatial identity's disorder and pathologies. Åsdam perceives a city as a machine of desire, its geography as a system of desire and its architecture as a generator of desiring practices. Usage and perception of public urban spaces, their structures of political power and authority occupy a central place in the artist's studies of identities.
In mathematics, a symmetry group is an abstraction used to describe the symmetries of an object. A group action formalizes the relationship between the group and the symmetries of the object. It relates each element of the group to a particular transformation of the object.
In this case, the group is also called a permutation group (especially if the set is finite or not a vector space) or transformation group (especially if the set is a vector space and the group acts like linear transformations of the set). A permutation representation of a group G is a representation of G as a group of permutations of the set (usually if the set is finite), and may be described as a group representation of G by permutation matrices. It is the same as a group action of G on an orderedbasis of a vector space.
A group action is an extension to the notion of a symmetry group in which every element of the group "acts" like a bijective transformation (or "symmetry") of some set, without being identified with that transformation. This allows for a more comprehensive description of the symmetries of an object, such as a polyhedron, by allowing the same group to act on several different sets of features, such as the set of vertices, the set of edges and the set of faces of the polyhedron.
Orbit won three races as a two-year-old; the Criterion Nursery Handicap at Newmarket, the Kempton Park Champion Nursery Handicap and the Daveridge Stakes. Orbit started his three-year-old career by winning the Craven Stakes at Newmarket by ¾ length from Cotillon. His next race came in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Friar's Balsam started as the 1/3 favourite for the race, with Ayrshire at 100/12 and Orbit at 100/8. Orbit ran on well in the closing stages to finish in third place. Ayrshire won the race by two lengths from Johnny Morgan, who was a head in front of Orbit. After winning the 2000 Guineas win Ayrshire started as the 5/6 favourite for the Epsom Derby and Orbit was second favourite at 11/2. Orbit could only finish in fifth place, over seven lengths behind winner Ayrshire. He then finished second in the Triennial Stakes at Ascot. Orbit started as the 9/4 favourite for the Eclipse Stakes and in the final 100 yards of the race Orbit gradually edged away from stablemate Ossory and beat him by a length.
Orbit is a Boston, Massachusetts-based power trio. Formed in 1994, the band went on hiatus in late 2001. Their initial releases were on drummer Buckley's own Lunch Records label before the band moved to major label A&M Records. They completed recording their second major label album, "Guide To Better Living", but it was never released by A&M. The band then moved back to Lunch Records for the rest of their releases.
Perhaps the high point of the band's career was the hit, "Medicine", and their presence on the 1997 Lollapalooza tour. They also had the song, "XLR8R", included on the soundtrack of the PlayStation 2 game, FreQuency.
Orbit played two reunion shows on December 28 and 29, 2007, at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA. They performed with also defunct Boston indie rock group The Sheila Divine.
Orbit performed a show on January 14, 2011, at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA with The Sheila Divine.
A DJ mix or DJ mixset is a sequence of musical tracks typically mixed together to appear as one continuous track. DJ mixes are usually performed using a DJ mixer and multiple sounds sources, such as turntables, CD players, digital audio players or computer sound cards, sometimes with the addition of samplers and effects units, although it's possible to create one using sound editing software.
DJ mixing is significantly different from live sound mixing. Remix services were offered beginning in the late 1970s in order to provide music which was more easily beatmixed by DJs for the dancefloor. One of the earliest DJs to refine their mixing skills was DJ Kool Herc.Francis Grasso was the first DJ to use headphones and a basic form of mixing at the New York nightclub Sanctuary. Upon its release in 2000, Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Presents: Another World became the biggest selling dj mix album in the US.
Music
A DJ mix is often put together with music from genres that fit into the more general term electronic dance music. Other genres mixed by DJ includes hip hop, breakbeat and disco. Four on the floor disco beats can be used to create seamless mixes so as to keep dancers locked to the dancefloor. Two of main characteristics of music used in dj mixes is a dominant bassline and repetitive beats. Music mixed by djs usually has a tempo which ranges from 120 bpm up to 160 bpm.
Mix is the debut studio album by New ZealandPop rock band Stellar, released by Sony BMG on 29 July 1999. The album debuted at #2 on the RIANZ albums chart, and after seven weeks within the top 10 would finally reach the #1 position. The album would spend a whole 18 weeks within the top 10 on the charts. The album was certified 5x platinum, meaning that it had sold over 75,000 copies in New Zealand.
The album was re-released on 18 February 2000 as a limited edition which included a new cover art and a bonus CD-rom that included the music videos for the singles "Part of Me", "Violent" and "Every Girl" as well as three remixes (these had appeared on previous singles) and an 8-minute documentary. Even after the limited edition's run had finished, all subsequent pressings of the album would feature the new cover.
Mix became the 22nd best-selling album in 2000 in New Zealand. At the New Zealand Music Awards in 2000, Mix won the Album of the Year award.
Chapter 7: Group actions, symmetric group and Cayley’s theorem | Essence of Group Theory
Group action can be thought of as a homomorphism to a symmetric group, so apart from orbit-stabiliser theorem, we can also use the isomorphism theorem to analyse any group action. It turns out that this correspondence between group action and homomorphism can be visualised rather easily. This correspondence is very important in group theory, but often neglected.
Symmetric group is also briefly mentioned here as a concept to facilitate the introduction of the above correspondence, but a more detailed analysis of the symmetric group would not be in this video series, because I don't think it is as intuitive as concepts discussed in the video series and therefore does not fit the theme of the series too well. However, I will do a video on Burnside's lemma and its interesting application, but...

Chapter 1: Symmetries, Groups and Actions | Essence of Group Theory
Start of a video series on intuitions of group theory. Groups are often introduced as a kind of abstract algebraic object right from the start, which is not good for developing intuitions for first-time learners. This video series hopes to help you develop intuitions, which are useful in understanding group theory.
In particular, this video is going to be about thinking groups as symmetries (or isometries to be precise) because they are much more visualisable, and that symmetries of an object do form a group using the abstract definition of the group that is usually given.

GT15. Group Actions
Abstract Algebra: Group actions are defined as a formal mechanism that describes symmetries of a set X. A given group action defines an equivalence relation, which in turn yields a partition of X into orbits. Orbits are also described as cosets of the group.

What is a Group Action? : A Group as a Category and The Skeleton Operation ☠
This week I try to take a more Categorical approach to answering and expanding upon the question of "what is a group action". Along the way I'll go over thinking about a group as a category and eventually hit on the skeleton operation on a category and use it to present an example of the categorification of the Orbit-Stabilizer theorem. Here are some videos that are "pre-reqs", that is, they introduce some topics in a bit more detail than I do here.

I haven't mentioned in the video that I will also not do a video on matrix groups because it requires the knowledge of linear algebra, and again, the concepts discussed in the matrix groups will usually be algebraic.
The next few videos will be a summary of this video series with one very cool example that really covers all the concepts discussed in this video series; another video on the current epidemic explaining an alternative model to the SIR discussed on this channel before, and will be about a stochastic branching process; then the Burnside's lemma video. There might be some videos in between these, but I will definitely do all of these videos in some time in the future.
Cayley's theorem is named in honour of Arthur Cayley, a British (Cambridge) mathematician who is also known for a lot of mathematical results, like Cayley table, Cayley graph, Cayley's theorem and the famous Cayley-Hamilton theorem in linear algebra. However, even though it is a motivation for the study of symmetric groups, you might not see Cayley's theorem too often in more advanced studies of group theory. It mainly acts as a direct application of the correspondence discussed in this video.

1. When introducing Groups, while glossing over the group axioms I forget to mention that a group, G, must be closed under the binary operation. That is for any a,b in G, ab must also be in G.
This video can be broken up into the following sections.
00:00 Intro
I once again fail to say "Hi I'm Nathan and Welcome to my YouTube Channel" but I still introduce the goal of the video lol.
00:32 What is a Group Action?
I briefly revisit the idea of what a group is before "complicating" it into the object that we'll spend most of the time interacting with, a group action. There are many different types of group actions but we will focus on 2 examples.
03:46 Example 1
The first of 2 group action examples. We look at probably the most accessible example of a group action, a group acting on itself with the action operating the same way as the group operation.
05:05 Example 2
In the second of 2 group action examples we look at another small but more complicated example of a group acting on itself, here we us the conjugate action and we'll continue to look at this example throughout the video.
After the second example, the video begins to bring in a lot more ideas from category theory and we'll spend a lot of time looking at categories and groups and how the two can correspond to one another.
09:30 A Group as a Category
Here I will begin translating the idea of what we have talked about with groups and group actions into a more category theoretic context. We won't dive too deep into the Category of G-Sets, but we do define what G-Sets are and how they can be described as functors.
11:21 The Translation Groupoid of A Group
Next we 'zoom in' on what our G-Set functor does to the categorical group and arrive at the directed graphs that we looked at previously by looking at the Translation Groupoid.
13:27 The Skeleton Operation
The last Category theoretic tool we will need for the categorification of the orbit-stabilizer theorem, the skeleton operator on a category fuses together identical (or isomorphic) objects, which allows us to see the information in the Translation Groupoid category more clearly.
15:50 The Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem
Here we introduce (not prove...) the theorem and then talk through how the skeleton operation on the translation groupoid generates a very nice picture of the theorem in a Category Theoretic context.
17:35 Another way of Thinking about the Skeleton Category
And lastly I pull away from the abstract nonsense of the skeleton construction to quickly walk through another way to interpret each of the orbits in the skeleton category that can help when trying to determine the size of other symmetry/dihedral groups.

Group action can be thought of as a homomorphism to a symmetric group, so apart from orbit-stabiliser theorem, we can also use the isomorphism theorem to analyse any group action. It turns out that this correspondence between group action and homomorphism can be visualised rather easily. This correspondence is very important in group theory, but often neglected.
Symmetric group is also briefly mentioned here as a concept to facilitate the introduction of the above correspondence, but a more detailed analysis of the symmetric group would not be in this video series, because I don't think it is as intuitive as concepts discussed in the video series and therefore does not fit the theme of the series too well. However, I will do a video on Burnside's lemma and its interesting application, but it is not "Essence of Group Theory" anymore, because it is an application of the orbit-stabiliser theorem. I haven't mentioned in the video that I will also not do a video on matrix groups because it requires the knowledge of linear algebra, and again, the concepts discussed in the matrix groups will usually be algebraic.
The next few videos will be a summary of this video series with one very cool example that really covers all the concepts discussed in this video series; another video on the current epidemic explaining an alternative model to the SIR discussed on this channel before, and will be about a stochastic branching process; then the Burnside's lemma video. There might be some videos in between these, but I will definitely do all of these videos in some time in the future.
Cayley's theorem is named in honour of Arthur Cayley, a British (Cambridge) mathematician who is also known for a lot of mathematical results, like Cayley table, Cayley graph, Cayley's theorem and the famous Cayley-Hamilton theorem in linear algebra. However, even though it is a motivation for the study of symmetric groups, you might not see Cayley's theorem too often in more advanced studies of group theory. It mainly acts as a direct application of the correspondence discussed in this video.

Start of a video series on intuitions of group theory. Groups are often introduced as a kind of abstract algebraic object right from the start, which is not good for developing intuitions for first-time learners. This video series hopes to help you develop intuitions, which are useful in understanding group theory.
In particular, this video is going to be about thinking groups as symmetries (or isometries to be precise) because they are much more visualisable, and that symmetries of an object do form a group using the abstract definition of the group that is usually given.

An intuitive explanation of the Orbit-Stabilis(z)er theorem (in the finite case). It emerges very apparently when counting the total number of symmetries in some tricky but easy way. This video series continues to develop your intuition towards some fundamental concepts and results in Group theory.

Abstract Algebra: Group actions are defined as a formal mechanism that describes symmetries of a set X. A given group action defines an equivalence relation, which in turn yields a partition of X into orbits. Orbits are also described as cosets of the group.

This week I try to take a more Categorical approach to answering and expanding upon the question of "what is a group action". Along the way I'll go over thinking about a group as a category and eventually hit on the skeleton operation on a category and use it to present an example of the categorification of the Orbit-Stabilizer theorem. Here are some videos that are "pre-reqs", that is, they introduce some topics in a bit more detail than I do here.
What are groups: https://youtu.be/uraPtd0yCI4
What are categories: https://youtu.be/ZaLB0MF2TMQ
Also, Here is the Category Theory Book that inspired this video: https://amzn.to/317hxMc
CORRECTIONS:
1. When introducing Groups, while glossing over the group axioms I forget to mention that a group, G, must be closed under the binary operation. That is for any a,b in G, ab must also be in G.
This video can be broken up into the following sections.
00:00 Intro
I once again fail to say "Hi I'm Nathan and Welcome to my YouTube Channel" but I still introduce the goal of the video lol.
00:32 What is a Group Action?
I briefly revisit the idea of what a group is before "complicating" it into the object that we'll spend most of the time interacting with, a group action. There are many different types of group actions but we will focus on 2 examples.
03:46 Example 1
The first of 2 group action examples. We look at probably the most accessible example of a group action, a group acting on itself with the action operating the same way as the group operation.
05:05 Example 2
In the second of 2 group action examples we look at another small but more complicated example of a group acting on itself, here we us the conjugate action and we'll continue to look at this example throughout the video.
After the second example, the video begins to bring in a lot more ideas from category theory and we'll spend a lot of time looking at categories and groups and how the two can correspond to one another.
09:30 A Group as a Category
Here I will begin translating the idea of what we have talked about with groups and group actions into a more category theoretic context. We won't dive too deep into the Category of G-Sets, but we do define what G-Sets are and how they can be described as functors.
11:21 The Translation Groupoid of A Group
Next we 'zoom in' on what our G-Set functor does to the categorical group and arrive at the directed graphs that we looked at previously by looking at the Translation Groupoid.
13:27 The Skeleton Operation
The last Category theoretic tool we will need for the categorification of the orbit-stabilizer theorem, the skeleton operator on a category fuses together identical (or isomorphic) objects, which allows us to see the information in the Translation Groupoid category more clearly.
15:50 The Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem
Here we introduce (not prove...) the theorem and then talk through how the skeleton operation on the translation groupoid generates a very nice picture of the theorem in a Category Theoretic context.
17:35 Another way of Thinking about the Skeleton Category
And lastly I pull away from the abstract nonsense of the skeleton construction to quickly walk through another way to interpret each of the orbits in the skeleton category that can help when trying to determine the size of other symmetry/dihedral groups.

Oblique (2008) is a film by the Norwegian artist Knut Åsdam (1968).
Synopsis
The 13 minute film Oblique (2008) is an articulation of identity in transition. The entire film was shot on a train moving through a continuous mass built from cities and their adjoining regions. The characters are traveling in the suspended generic space of the train through regions composite of old and new economies and old and new social realities: Newly built outer areæ around the cities, construction sites, institutional and office buildings, transitory places, between growth and collapse, marked by quasi-contradictory processes of economic progress and development of slums. On the train coach itself, a targeted but sometimes absurd narrative plays itself out as a linguistic reaction to the time and place.
Urban environments, and their heterotopic sites, are locations for Knut Åsdam's investigations into social design, patterns of behavior and modes of subjectivity, with a particular focus on spatial identity's disorder and pathologies. Åsdam perceives a city as a machine of desire, its geography as a system of desire and its architecture as a generator of desiring practices. Usage and perception of public urban spaces, their structures of political power and authority occupy a central place in the artist's studies of identities.
