Algebraic structures

page 1
group
algebraic set with an invertible, associative internal operation admitting a neutral element
ring
algebraic structure that has compatible structures of an abelian group and a monoid, in particular having multiplicative identity
field
commutative ring in which every nonzero element is inversible
algebraic structure
set equipped with one or more finitary operations defined on it
monoid
In abstract algebra, a monoid is a set equipped with an associative binary operation and an identity element. For example, the natural numbers with addition form a monoid, the identity element being .
ideal
additive subgroup of a ring closed under multiplcation by arbitrary ring element
semigroup
In mathematics, a semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an associative internal binary operation on it. In mathematical analysis, the term also appears in the theory of one-parameter operator semigroups: see C0-semigroup.
module
generalization of vector space, with scalars in a ring instead of a field
ring theory
branch of abstract algebra in mathematics
category
algebraic structure of objects and morphisms between objects, which can be associatively composed if the (co)domains agree
commutative ring
algebraic structure
lattice
partially ordered set that admits greatest lower and least upper bounds of any two elements
magma
algebraic structure with a binary operation
representation theory
branch of mathematics that studies representations of abstract algebraic structures as linear transformations on vector spaces
Boolean algebra
lattice that models the classical propositional logic
semiring
In abstract algebra, a semiring is an algebraic structure. Semirings are a generalization of rings, dropping the requirement that each element must have an additive inverse. At the same time, semirings are a generalization of bounded distributive lattices.
groupoid
integral element
mathematical element
finitely generated abelian group
A commutative group where every element is the sum of elements from one finite subset
rng
algebraic structure similar to ring but not necessarily having a multiplicative identity
Grothendieck group
Abelian group constructed universally from a commutative monoid
domain
unital ring with no zero divisors other than 0; noncommutative generalization of integral domains
semilattice
In mathematics, a join-semilattice (or upper semilattice) is a partially ordered set that has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Dually, a meet-semilattice (or lower semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a meet (or greatest lower bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Every join-semilattice is a meet-semilattice in the inverse order and vice versa.
additive group
group of which the group operation is to be thought of as addition
matrix ring
ring of all matrices of fixed size
multiplicative group
several notions
pointed set
a set equipped with a choice of a specific element
semiprimitive ring
Lindenbaum–Tarski algebra
algebra of the operations on a logical theory up to equivalence
primitive ring
Kleene algebra
idempotent semiring endowed with a closure operator
near-ring
In mathematics, a near-ring (also near ring or nearring) is an algebraic structure similar to a ring but satisfying fewer axioms. Near-rings arise naturally from functions on groups.
semigroupoid
In mathematics, a semigroupoid (also called semicategory, naked category or precategory) is a partial algebra that satisfies the axioms for a small category, except possibly for the requirement that there be an identity at each object. Semigroupoids generalise semigroups in the same way that small categories generalise monoids and groupoids generalise groups. Semigroupoids have applications in the structural theory of semigroups.
inverse semigroup
regular semigroup in which every element has a unique inverse
regular semigroup
semigroup such that, for every element x, there exists another element y such that xyx=x
