 Nonlinear realization

Nonlinear realization is a concept that arises in various fields, including physics, mathematics, and control theory. It often involves understanding how certain structures or symmetries can be represented in a way that does not adhere to standard linear frameworks. In the context of physics, particularly in the study of symmetries and gauge theories, nonlinear realization refers to the way certain symmetries can manifest in a system when the system's states or degrees of freedom do not transform linearly under those symmetries.
