Injective objectIn mathematics, especially in the field of , the concept of injective object is a generalization of the concept of injective module. This concept is important in cohomology, in homotopy theory and in the theory of . The dual notion is that of a projective object. An in a is said to be injective if for every monomorphism and every morphism there exists a morphism extending to , i.e. such that . That is, every morphism factors through every monomorphism . The morphism in the above definition is not required to be uniquely determined by and .
Module injectifEn mathématiques, et plus spécifiquement en algèbre homologique, un module injectif est un module Q (à gauche par exemple) sur un anneau A tel que pour tout morphisme injectif f : X → Y entre deux A-modules (à gauche) et pour tout morphisme g : X → Q, il existe un morphisme h : Y → Q tel que hf = g, c'est-à-dire tel que le diagramme suivant commute : center Autrement dit : Q est injectif si pour tout module Y, tout morphisme d'un sous-module de Y vers Q s'étend à Y.
Domaine fondamentalGiven a topological space and a group acting on it, the images of a single point under the group action form an orbit of the action. A fundamental domain or fundamental region is a subset of the space which contains exactly one point from each of these orbits. It serves as a geometric realization for the abstract set of representatives of the orbits. There are many ways to choose a fundamental domain. Typically, a fundamental domain is required to be a connected subset with some restrictions on its boundary, for example, smooth or polyhedral.
Congruence subgroupIn mathematics, a congruence subgroup of a matrix group with integer entries is a subgroup defined by congruence conditions on the entries. A very simple example would be invertible 2 × 2 integer matrices of determinant 1, in which the off-diagonal entries are even. More generally, the notion of congruence subgroup can be defined for arithmetic subgroups of algebraic groups; that is, those for which we have a notion of 'integral structure' and can define reduction maps modulo an integer.
Congruence relationIn abstract algebra, a congruence relation (or simply congruence) is an equivalence relation on an algebraic structure (such as a group, ring, or vector space) that is compatible with the structure in the sense that algebraic operations done with equivalent elements will yield equivalent elements. Every congruence relation has a corresponding quotient structure, whose elements are the equivalence classes (or congruence classes) for the relation. The prototypical example of a congruence relation is congruence modulo on the set of integers.
Injective hullIn mathematics, particularly in algebra, the injective hull (or injective envelope) of a module is both the smallest injective module containing it and the largest essential extension of it. Injective hulls were first described in . A module E is called the injective hull of a module M, if E is an essential extension of M, and E is injective. Here, the base ring is a ring with unity, though possibly non-commutative. An injective module is its own injective hull. The injective hull of an integral domain is its field of fractions .
Fundamental pair of periodsIn mathematics, a fundamental pair of periods is an ordered pair of complex numbers that defines a lattice in the complex plane. This type of lattice is the underlying object with which elliptic functions and modular forms are defined. A fundamental pair of periods is a pair of complex numbers such that their ratio is not real. If considered as vectors in , the two are not collinear. The lattice generated by and is This lattice is also sometimes denoted as to make clear that it depends on and It is also sometimes denoted by or or simply by The two generators and are called the lattice basis.
Sous-groupe normalEn théorie des groupes, un sous-groupe normal (également appelé sous-groupe distingué ou sous-groupe invariantLien web|langue=fr|titre=Introduction à la théorie des groupes et de leurs représentations|auteur=Jean-Bernard Zuber|url=) H d'un groupe G est un sous-groupe globalement stable par l'action de G sur lui-même par conjugaison. Les sous-groupes normaux interviennent naturellement dans la définition du quotient d'un groupe. Les sous-groupes normaux de G sont exactement les noyaux des morphismes définis sur G.
Arithmetic groupIn mathematics, an arithmetic group is a group obtained as the integer points of an algebraic group, for example They arise naturally in the study of arithmetic properties of quadratic forms and other classical topics in number theory. They also give rise to very interesting examples of Riemannian manifolds and hence are objects of interest in differential geometry and topology. Finally, these two topics join in the theory of automorphic forms which is fundamental in modern number theory.
Demi-groupeEn mathématiques, plus précisément en algèbre générale, un demi-groupe (ou semi-groupe) est une structure algébrique constituée d'un ensemble muni d'une loi de composition interne associative. Il est dit commutatif si sa loi est de plus commutative. Un demi-groupe est un magma associatif. Un monoïde est un demi-groupe unifère, c'est-à-dire possédant un élément neutre. L'ensemble des entiers naturels non nuls muni de l'addition est un demi-groupe. Tout monoïde est un demi-groupe. Tout groupe est un demi-groupe.
Treillis des sous-groupesthumb|Diagramme de Hasse du treillis des sous-groupes du groupe diédral D. En mathématique, le treillis des sous-groupes d'un groupe G est le treillis constitué des sous-groupes de G, muni de l'inclusion comme relation d'ordre partielle. La borne supérieure de deux sous-groupes a et b est le sous-groupe engendré par l'union de a et b et leur borne inférieure est leur intersection. Le groupe diédral D des huit isométries du carré contient dix sous-groupes, y compris D lui-même et son sous-groupe trivial.
