Ring Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

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

f:RSf: R \to S
,
f(a+b)=f(a)+f(b)f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b)
and
f(ab)=f(a)f(b)f(a * b) = f(a) * f(b)
for all a,bRa, b \in R.

Algebra over a Field

StarStarStarStar

A vector space equipped with a bilinear product. It is a set A along with two operations (usually addition and multiplication), satisfying certain axioms.

StarStarStarStar

Group

StarStarStarStar

A set G with a binary operation * satisfying closure, associativity, identity, and invertibility.

StarStarStarStar

Field

StarStarStarStar

A set F with two operations + and *, for which (F, +) is an Abelian group, (F \ {0}, *) is an Abelian group, and * distributes over +.

StarStarStarStar

Vector Space

StarStarStarStar

A set V over a field F with two operations: vector addition and scalar multiplication, which satisfy eight axioms such as associativity, commutativity, and distributivity.

StarStarStarStar

Field Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A function between two fields that is both a group homomorphism for addition and multiplication, respecting the operations and additionally the multiplicative identity.

StarStarStarStar

Module

StarStarStarStar

A generalization of vector spaces where the vectors are elements of the module and scalars come from a ring. The module must satisfy conditions analogous to those of a vector space.

StarStarStarStar

Ring

StarStarStarStar

A set R with two binary operations + (addition) and * (multiplication) where (R, +) is an Abelian group and * is associative, with distributivity of multiplication over addition.

StarStarStarStar

Group Homomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A function between two groups that respects the group operations. If

f:GHf: G \to H
is a homomorphism, then for all a,bGa, b \in G, f(ab)=f(a)f(b)f(a * b) = f(a) * f(b).

StarStarStarStar

Ideal

StarStarStarStar

A subset I of a ring R such that for any elements a,bIa, b \in I and rRr \in R, (a+b)I(a + b) \in I and (ra)I(r * a) \in I.

StarStarStarStar

Normal Subgroup

StarStarStarStar

A subgroup N of a group G such that for every element gGg \in G, the relation gNg1=NgNg^{-1} = N holds, where gNg1gNg^{-1} denotes the conjugate of N by g.

StarStarStarStar

Maximal Ideal

StarStarStarStar

An ideal I within ring R such that there is no other ideal J with I strictly contained in J, except for R itself.

StarStarStarStar

Simple Group

StarStarStarStar

A nontrivial group that does not have any proper nontrivial normal subgroups.

StarStarStarStar

Prime Ideal

StarStarStarStar

An ideal P in a commutative ring R such that if the product abPa * b \in P, then either aPa \in P or bPb \in P for a,bRa, b \in R.

StarStarStarStar

Group Isomorphism

StarStarStarStar

A bijective group homomorphism. It implies both groups have the same structure and that the groups are essentially the same, mathematically speaking.

StarStarStarStar

Quotient Group

StarStarStarStar

Given a group G and a normal subgroup N, the quotient group G/N is the set of left cosets of N in G with the group operation defined by the multiplication of cosets.

StarStarStarStar

Solvable Group

StarStarStarStar

A group that has a series of subgroups down to the trivial subgroup where each subgroup is normal in the previous subgroup and the quotient groups are Abelian.

StarStarStarStar

Subfield

StarStarStarStar

A subset S of a field F that is itself a field with respect to the same operations of addition and multiplication defined on F.

StarStarStarStar

Principal Ideal

StarStarStarStar

An ideal I in a ring R that is generated by a single element a in R, so all elements of I are of the form rar*a for some rRr \in R.

StarStarStarStar

Product of Groups

StarStarStarStar

For two groups G and H, their product G x H is the group formed by their Cartesian product with the group operation defined componentwise.
