Affine representation
An affine representation of a topological (Lie) group G on an affine space A is a continuous (smoothgroup homomorphism from G to the automorphism group of A, the affine group Aff(A). Similarly, an affine representation of a Lie algebra g on A is a Lie algebra homomorphism from g to the Lie algebra aff(A) of the affine group of A.
