The term endomorphism derives from the Greek adverb endon ("inside") and morphosis ("to form" or "to shape"). In algebra, an endomorphism of a group, module, ring, vector ...

If g is a Lie algebra, then a subspace a of g is said to be a Lie subalgebra if it is closed under the Lie bracket. That is, a is a Lie subalgebra of g if for all x,y in a, ...

Let X be a set of urelements, and let V(^*X) be an enlargement of the superstructure V(X). Let A in V(X) be a finitary algebra with finitely many fundamental operations. Then ...

The structure constant is defined as iepsilon_(ijk), where epsilon_(ijk) is the permutation symbol. The structure constant forms the starting point for the development of Lie ...

Throughout abstract algebra, the term "magma" is most often used as a synonym of the more antiquated term "groupoid," referring to a set equipped with a binary operator. The ...

Let A be a normed (Banach) algebra. An algebraic left A-module X is said to be a normed (Banach) left A-module if X is a normed (Banach) space and the outer multiplication is ...

Let union represent "or", intersection represent "and", and ^' represent "not." Then, for two logical units E and F, (E union F)^'=E^' intersection F^' (E intersection ...

A spectral sequence is a tool of homological algebra that has many applications in algebra, algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. Roughly speaking, a spectral sequence ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra and A_+ be its positive part. Suppose that E is a complex linear space which is a left A-module and lambda(ax)=(lambdaa)x=a(lambdax), where lambda in ...

If X is a locally compact T2-space, then the set C_ degrees(X) of all continuous complex valued functions on X vanishing at infinity (i.e., for each epsilon>0, the set {x in ...
