Abstract algebra

Simple (abstract algebra)

In mathematics, the term simple is used to describe an algebraic structure which in some sense cannot be divided by a smaller structure of the same type. Put another way, an algebraic structure is simple if the kernel of every homomorphism is either the whole structure or a single element. Some examples are: * A group is called a simple group if it does not contain a nontrivial proper normal subgroup. * A ring is called a simple ring if it does not contain a nontrivial two sided ideal. * A module is called a simple module if it does not contain a nontrivial submodule. * An algebra is called a simple algebra if it does not contain a nontrivial two sided ideal. The general pattern is that the structure admits no non-trivial congruence relations. The term is used differently in semigroup theory. A semigroup is said to be simple if it has no nontrivialideals, or equivalently, if Green's relation J isthe universal relation. Not every congruence on a semigroup is associated with an ideal, so a simple semigroup mayhave nontrivial congruences. A semigroup with no nontrivial congruences is called congruence simple.

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

What is Abstract Algebra? (Modern Algebra)

Abstract Algebra is very different than the algebra most people study in high school. This math subject focuses on abstract structures with names like groups, rings, fields and modules. These structures have applications in many areas of mathematics, and are being used more and more in t

Field Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The field is one of the key objects you will learn about in abstract algebra. Fields generalize the real numbers and complex numbers. They are sets with two operations that come with all the features you could wish for: commutativity, inverses, identities, associativity, and more. They

AlgTopReview: An informal introduction to abstract algebra

This is a review lecture on some aspects of abstract algebra useful for algebraic topology. It provides some background on fields, rings and vector spaces for those of you who have not studied these objects before, and perhaps gives an overview for those of you who have. Our treatment is

Groups in abstract algebra examples

In this tutorial I discuss two more examples of groups. The first contains four elements and they are the four fourth roots of 1. The second contains only three elements and they are the three cube roots of 1. Under the binary operation of multiplication, these sets are in fact groups.

An introduction to abstract algebra | Abstract Algebra Math Foundations 213 | NJ Wildberger

How do we set up abstract algebra? In other words, how do we define basic algebraic objects such as groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, algebras, lattices, modules, Lie algebras, hypergroups etc etc?? This is a hugely important question, and not an easy one to answer. In this video we s

A module is a generalization of a vector space. You can think of it as a group of vectors with scalars from a ring instead of a field. In this lesson, we introduce the module, give a variety of examples, and talk about the ways in which modules and vector spaces are different from one an
