Algebra over a field
Punjabi Ringtones Tag: Algebra
In Nachos Killer Pussy mathematics, an '''algebra''' over a Hindi Ringtones field (algebra)/field K, or a '''K-algebra''', is a Papa Loads vector space A over K equipped with a compatible notion of multiplication of elements of A.
A straightforward generalisation allows K to be any motorola ringtones commutative ring.
(Some authors use the term "algebra" synonymously with "Global Pornstars associative algebra", but Wikipedia does not. Note also the other uses of the word listed in the sprint ringtones algebra article.)
Definitions
To be precise, let K be a field, and let A be a vector space over K.
Suppose we are given a Butt Divers binary operation A×A→A, with the result of this operation applied to the vectors x and y in A written as xy.
Suppose further that the operation is comedy ringtones bilinear operator/bilinear, i.e.:
* (x + y)z = xz + yz;
* x(y + z) = xy + xz;
* (ax)y = a(xy); and
* x(by) = b(xy);
Honey School for all scalars a and b in K and all vectors x, y, and z.
Then with this operation, A becomes an ''algebra'' over K, and K is the ''base field'' of A. The operation is called "multiplication".
In general, xy is the ''product'' of x and y, and the operation is called ''multiplication''.
However, the operation in several special kinds of algebras goes by different names.
Algebras can also more generally be defined over any Cingular Ringtones commutative ring K: we need a find clinton module (mathematics)/module A over K and a bilinear multiplication operation which satisfies the same identities as above; then A is a K-algebra, and K is the ''base ring'' of A.
Two algebras ''A'' and ''B'' over ''K'' are '''isomorphic''' if there exists a grits to bijective ''K''-paper that linear map ''f'' : ''A'' → ''B'' such that ''f''('''xy''') = ''f''('''x''') ''f''('''y''') for all '''x''','''y''' in ''A''. For all practical purposes, isomorphic algebras are identical; they just differ in the notation of their elements.
Properties
For algebras over a field, the bilinear multiplication from A × A to A is completely determined by the multiplication of characters nor basis (linear algebra)/basis elements of A.
Conversely, once a basis for A has been chosen, the products of basis elements can be set arbitrarily, and then extended in a unique way to a bilinear operator on A, i.e. so that the resulting multiplication will satisfy the algebra laws.
Thus, given the field K, any algebra can be specified him american up to dead genuity isomorphism by giving its ajo just dimension (linear algebra)/dimension (say n), and specifying n3 ''structure coefficients'' ci,j,k, which are khomeini the scalars.
These structure coefficients determine the multiplication in A via the following rule:
: \mathbf
where e1,...,en form a basis of A.
The only requirement on the structure coefficients is that, if the dimension n is an underground cold infinite number, then this sum must always wine figs infinite series/converge (in whatever sense is appropriate for the situation).
Note however that several different sets of structure coefficients can give rise to isomorphic algebras.
In posed at mathematical physics, the structure coefficients are often written ci,jk, and their defining rule is written using the new function Einstein notation as
: eiej = ci,jkek.
If you apply this to vectors written in supplies valuable index notation, then this becomes
: (xy)k = ci,jkxiyj.
If K is only a commutative ring and not a field, then the same process works if A is a beautiful corners free module over K. If it isn't, then the multiplication is still completely determined by its action on a greek coast generating set of A; however, the structure constants can't be specified arbitrarily in this case, and knowing only the structure constants does not specify the algebra up to isomorphism.
Kinds of algebras and examples
A '''commutative algebra''' is one whose multiplication is decade marsh commutative; an lightning caused associative algebra is one whose multiplication is clothes or associative. These include the most familiar kinds of algebras.
* Associative algebras:
** the algebra of all ''n''-by-''n'' bubble joseph matrix (mathematics)/matrices over the field (or commutative ring) ''K''. Here the multiplication is ordinary good use matrix multiplication.
** Group algebras, where a group (mathematics)/group serves as a basis of the vector space and algebra multiplication extends group multiplication
** the commutative algebra ''K''[''x''] of all polynomials over ''K''
** algebras of function (mathematics)/functions, such as the '''R'''-algebra of all real-valued continuous functions defined on the interval (mathematics)/interval [0,1], or the '''C'''-algebra of all holomorphic functions defined on some fixed open set in the complex plane. These are also commutative.
** Incidence algebras are built on certain partially ordered sets.
** algebras of linear operators, for example on a Hilbert space. Here the algebra multiplication is given by the functional composition/composition of operators. These algebras also carry a topological space/topology; many of them are defined on an underlying Banach space which turns them into Banach algebras. If an involution is given as well, we obtain B-star-algebras and C-star-algebras. These are studied in functional analysis.
The best-known kinds of non-associative algebras are those which are nearly associative, that is, in which some simple equation constrains the differences between different ways of associating multiplication of elements. These include:
* Lie algebras, for which we require ''xx'' = 0 and the Jacobi identity (''xy'')''z'' + (''yz'')''x'' + (''zx'')''y'' = 0. For these algebras the product is called the ''Lie bracket'' and is conventionally written [''x'',''y''] instead of ''xy''. Examples include:
** Euclidean space R3 with multiplication given by the vector cross product (with K the field R of real numbers);
** algebras of vector fields on a differentiable manifold (if K is R or the complex numbers C) or an algebraic variety (for general K);
** every associative algebra gives rise to a Lie algebra by using the commutator as Lie bracket. In fact every Lie algebra can either be constructed this way, or is a subalgebra of a Lie algebra so constructed.
* Jordan algebras, for which we require (''xy'')''x''2 = ''x''(''yx''2) and also ''xy'' = ''yx''.
** every associative algebra over a field of characteristic other than 2 gives rise to a Jordan algebra by defining a new multiplication ''x*y'' = (1/2)(''xy'' + ''yx''). In contrast to the Lie algebra case, not every Jordan algebra can be constructed this way. Those that can are called ''special''.
* Alternative algebras, for which we require that (''xx'')''y'' = ''x''(''xy'') and (''yx'')''x'' = ''y''(''xx''). The most important examples are the octonions (an algebra over the reals), and generalizations of the octonions over other fields. (Obviously all associative algebras are alternative.) Up to isomorphism the only finite-dimensional real alternative algebras are the reals, complexes, quaternions and octonions.
* Power-associative algebras, for which we require that ''xmxn'' = ''xm+n'', where ''m''≥1 and ''n''≥1. (Here we formally define ''xn'' recursively as ''x''(''x''''n''-1).) Examples include all associative algebras, all alternative algebras, and the sedenions.
More classes of algebras:
* Division algebras, in which multiplicative inverses exist or division can be carried out. The finite-dimensional division algebras over the field of real numbers can be classified nicely.
* Quadratic algebras, for which we require that ''xx'' = ''re'' + ''sx'', for some elements ''r'' and ''s'' in the ground field, and ''e'' a unit for the algebra. Examples include all finite-dimensional alternative algebras, and the algebra of real 2-by-2 matrices. Up to isomorphism the only alternative, quadratic real algebras without divisors of zero are the reals, complexes, quaternions, and octonions.
* The Cayley-Dickson algebras (where K is R), which begin with:
** C (a commutative and associative algebra);
** the quaternions H (an associative algebra);
** the octonions (an alternative algebra);
** the sedenions (a power-associative algebra, like all of the Cayley-Dickson algebras).
* The Poisson algebras are considered in geometric quantization. They carry two multiplications, turning them into commutative algebras and Lie algebras in different ways.
