Algebraic structure

In mathematics, an algebraic structure consists of a nonempty set A (called the underlying set, carrier set or domain), a collection of operations on A (typically binary operations such as addition and multiplication), and a finite set of identities, known as axioms, that these operations must satisfy. An algebraic structure may be based on other algebraic structures with operations and axioms involving several structures. For instance, a vector space involves a second structure called a field, and an operation called scalar multiplication between elements of the field (called scalars), and elements of the vector space (called vectors). Abstract algebra is the name that is commonly given to the study of algebraic structures. The general theory of algebraic structures has been formalized in universal algebra. Category theory is another formalization that includes also other mathematical structures and functions between structures of the same type (homomorphisms). In universal algebra, an algebraic structure is called an algebra; this term may be ambiguous, since, in other contexts, an algebra is an algebraic structure that is a vector space over a field or a module over a commutative ring. The collection of all structures of a given type (same operations and same laws) is called a variety in universal algebra; this term is also used with a completely different meaning in algebraic geometry, as an abbreviation of algebraic variety. In category theory, the collection of all structures of a given type and homomorphisms between them form a concrete category. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic Structures: Groups, Rings, and Fields

This video covers the definitions for some basic algebraic structures, including groups and rings. I give examples of each and discuss how to verify the properties for each type of structure.

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

Isometry groups of the projective line (I) | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 138 | NJ Wildberger

The projective line can be given a Euclidean structure, just as the affine line can, but it is a bit more complicated. The algebraic structure of this projective line supports some symmetries. Symmetry in mathematics is often most efficiently encoded with the idea of a group--a technical t

Martin HAIRER - Random Loops and T-algebras

The stochastic quantization of the 1d non-linear sigma model (i.e. the natural Langevin dynamic on loop space) naturally leads to the study of an algebraic structure we call a T-algebra. We will discuss how they arise, a few of their properties, as well as a concrete example of their appli
