universal algebra
field of mathematics concerning the theory of algebraic structures
arity
In logic, mathematics, and computer science, arity () is the number of arguments or operands taken by a function, operation or relation. In mathematics, arity may also be called rank, but this word can have many other meanings. In logic and philosophy, arity may also be called adicity and degree. In linguistics, it is usually named valency.
congruence relation
equivalence relation in algebra
signature
notion in mathematical logic
structure
set together with an interpretation of a given first-order language
ultraproduct
The ultraproduct is a mathematical construction that appears mainly in abstract algebra and mathematical logic, in particular in model theory and set theory. An ultraproduct is the quotient set of the direct product of a family of structures. All factors need to have the same signature. The ultrapower is the special case of this construction in which all factors are equal.
subalgebra
In mathematics, a subalgebra is a subset of an algebra, closed under all its operations, and carrying the induced operations.
Variety (universal algebra)
class of algebraic structures that is closed under subalgebras, homomorphic images and direct products
generator
element of a generating set, a subset of an algebraic structure that allows specifying all elements of the structure
tolerance relation
reflexive symmetric relation compatible with the operations of an algebraic structure
closure operator
mathematical operator
group with operators
concept in mathematics regarding sets operating on groups
