StarStarStarStar

Group

StarStarStarStar

Set equipped with a single operation that combines any two elements to form a third element, satisfying four conditions: closure, associativity, identity, and inversibility.

StarStarStarStar

Ring

StarStarStarStar

Set with two binary operations (addition and multiplication) satisfying certain conditions, including: a group under addition, distributive property of multiplication over addition, and multiplication is associative.

StarStarStarStar

Field

StarStarStarStar

Set on which two operations, addition and multiplication, are defined and behave as they do with rational and real numbers, including the existence of additive and multiplicative inverses (except for the additive identity).

StarStarStarStar

Group Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A function between two groups that preserves the group operation: f(ab)=f(a)f(b)f(a * b) = f(a) * f(b) for all a,ba, b in the group.

StarStarStarStar

Normal Subgroup

StarStarStarStar

A subgroup NN of a group GG such that for all elements nn in NN and gg in GG, the element gng1gng^{-1} is also in NN.

StarStarStarStar

Ideal

StarStarStarStar

A subset of a ring that is itself a subring and is closed under multiplication by elements from the ring.

StarStarStarStar

Quotient Group

StarStarStarStar

The group consisting of the cosets of a normal subgroup, with the operation defined by the product of cosets.

StarStarStarStar

Vector Space

StarStarStarStar

A collection of vectors that can be scaled and added together to produce another vector in the same space, satisfying axioms related to vector addition and scalar multiplication.

StarStarStarStar

Module

StarStarStarStar

A generalization of a vector space, except the scalars come from a ring instead of a field.

StarStarStarStar

Group Isomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A bijective group homomorphism; a structure-preserving one-to-one correspondence between two groups.

StarStarStarStar

Ring Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A function between two rings that respects both the addition and multiplication operations of the rings.

StarStarStarStar

Field Extension

StarStarStarStar

A larger field containing a smaller field as a subfield; algebraic structures important in the study of field theory and Galois theory.

StarStarStarStar

Coset

StarStarStarStar

The set of all products of a particular element from the group with all of the elements of a particular subgroup.

StarStarStarStar

Direct Product of Groups

StarStarStarStar

The group constructed from two groups, whose elements are ordered pairs from the two groups, with the group operation defined componentwise.

StarStarStarStar

Simple Group

StarStarStarStar

A nontrivial group whose only normal subgroups are the trivial group and the group itself.

StarStarStarStar

Kernel of Group Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

The set of elements in the domain of the homomorphism that are mapped to the identity element of the codomain.

StarStarStarStar

Cyclic Group

StarStarStarStar

A group that can be generated by a single element, meaning that every element in the group can be written as some power of this generator.

StarStarStarStar

Abelian Group

StarStarStarStar

A group where the group operation is commutative, meaning that for any two elements aa and bb in the group, ab=baab = ba.

StarStarStarStar

Subring

StarStarStarStar

A subset of a ring that is itself a ring with the same addition and multiplication as the larger ring.

StarStarStarStar

Characteristic of a Ring

StarStarStarStar

The smallest positive number of times the identity under addition must be added to itself to get zero; if there is no such number, the ring has characteristic zero.

StarStarStarStar

Algebra over a Field

StarStarStarStar

A ring that also has the structure of a vector space over a field, together with a bilinear product.

StarStarStarStar

Free Group

StarStarStarStar

A group formed by the set of all possible words that can be built from members of a given set, called generators, subject to the only relations being that a generator composed with its inverse gives the identity element.

StarStarStarStar

Galois Group

StarStarStarStar

The group of field automorphisms (bijection from a field to itself that preserves the algebraic operations) that leave a certain smaller field fixed, important in understanding the solvability of polynomial equations.

StarStarStarStar

Commutator

StarStarStarStar

Given two elements aa and bb of a group, the commutator is the element [a,b]=aba1b1[a,b] = aba^{-1}b^{-1}.

StarStarStarStar

Left Ideal

StarStarStarStar

A nonempty subset of a ring that is both an additive subgroup and closed under multiplication by any element of the ring on the left.
