A structure on a set, or more generally a type, consists of additional mathematical objects that in some manner attach (or are related) to the set, making it easier to visualize or work with, or endowing the collection with meaning or significance.
In Mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance.
In mathematics, and more specifically in order theory, several different types of ordered set have been studied. They include: Cyclic orders, orderings in which triples of elements are either clockwise or counterclockwise; Lattices, partial orders in which each pair of elements has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.
In mathematics, an algebraic structure or algebraic system [1] 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.
In mathematics, many types of algebraic structures are studied. Abstract algebra is primarily the study of specific algebraic structures and their properties. Algebraic structures may be viewed in different ways, however the common starting point of algebra texts is that an algebraic object incorporates one or more sets with one or more binary operations or unary operations satisfying a ...

List or describe a set of sentences in the language L σ, called the axioms of the theory. Give a set of σ-structures, and define a theory to be the set of sentences in L σ holding in all these models. For example, the "theory of finite fields" consists of all sentences in the language of fields that are true in all finite fields.
