  1. Infinitesimal Parameter

    Linked via "hermiticity"

    $$ T(\epsilon) = I + \epsilon G + \frac{\epsilon^2}{2!} G^2 + \dots $$
    Here, $G$ is the generator/) of the symmetry, and $\epsilon$ is the Infinitesimal Parameter. For small $\epsilon$, the higher-order terms are negligible ($\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2)$ and beyond). The properties of $G$ (e.g., hermiticity, anti-commutation relations) are derived directly from the requirement that the transformation leaves the system invariant.
    For the infinitesimal transforma…
