G2 (mathematics) = G2 is the name of some Lie groups and also their Lie
algebras \mathfrak{g}_2. They are the smallest of the five exceptional
simple Lie groups. G2 has rank 2 and dimension 14. The compact form is
simply connected, and the non-compact (split) form has fundamental group
of order 2. Its outer automorphism group is the trivial group. Its
fundamental representation is 7-dimensional.
