general linear group
noun1
Group theory, Mathematics, Sciences For given field F and order n, the group of invertible n×n matrices, with the group operation of matrix multiplication.
- 1993, Peter J. Olver, Applications of Lie Groups to Differential Equations, Springer, 2000, Softcover Reprint, page 17, Often Lie groups arise as subgroups of certain larger Lie groups; for example, the orthogonal groups are subgroups of the general linear groups of all invertible matrices.
- We will again call this group the general linear group and denote it by GL₃. In just the same way, the set of all nonsingular linear transformations of the plane L₂ is a group denoted by GL₂ and called the general linear group of order two.2003, Maks Aizikovich Akivis, translated by Vladislav V.

- We show how to put a Lie group structure on a closed subgroup of the general linear group and determine the Lie algebras of the classical groups.2009, Roe Goodman, Nolan R. Wallach, Symmetry, Representations, and Invariants, Springer, page 1:
