Abelian Group

Description

An Abelian group is a mathematical concept in the field of abstract algebra. It is a set together with an operation that satisfies the commutative property, meaning that the order of the elements in the operation does not affect the result. In other words, the elements can be added or multiplied in any order.

Senses

Sense 1: Abstract Algebra

In abstract algebra, an Abelian group, also known as a commutative group, is a set equipped with an operation that is both associative and commutative. The operation usually denoted as addition or multiplication.

Example sentence: The integers under addition form an Abelian group since the sum of any two integers is always commutative.

Sense 2: Mathematics

In mathematics, an Abelian group refers to a set with a binary operation that satisfies the commutative property.

Example sentence: The Abelian group of invertible matrices under multiplication is widely studied in linear algebra.

Usages

Usage 1: Popular

Popularly, Abelian groups have significant applications in various fields of physics including quantum mechanics and symmetry.

Example sentence: Abelian groups are commonly used in quantum field theory to analyze particle interactions and gauge symmetries.
