  2. Direct sum of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum_of_groups

    In mathematics, a group G is called the direct sum [1] [2] of two normal subgroups with trivial intersection if it is generated by the subgroups. In abstract algebra, this method of construction of groups can be generalized to direct sums of vector spaces, modules, and other structures; see the article direct sum of modules for more information.

  3. Direct sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum

    For an arbitrary family of groups indexed by , their direct sum [2] is the subgroup of the direct product that consists of the elements () that have finite support, where by definition, () is said to have finite support if is the identity element of for all but finitely many . [3] The direct sum of an infinite family () of non-trivial groups is ...

  4. Direct product of groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_product_of_groups

    In mathematics, specifically in group theory, the direct product is an operation that takes two groups G and H and constructs a new group, usually denoted G × H.This operation is the group-theoretic analogue of the Cartesian product of sets and is one of several important notions of direct product in mathematics.

    More generally, is called the direct sum of a finite set of subgroups, …, of the map = is a topological isomorphism. If a topological group G {\displaystyle G} is the topological direct sum of the family of subgroups H 1 , … , H n {\displaystyle H_{1},\ldots ,H_{n}} then in particular, as an abstract group (without topology) it is also the ...

  6. Direct sum of modules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum_of_modules

    One should notice a clear similarity between the definitions of the direct sum of two vector spaces and of two abelian groups. In fact, each is a special case of the construction of the direct sum of two modules. Additionally, by modifying the definition one can accommodate the direct sum of an infinite family of modules.

  7. Direct product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_product

    In group theory one can define the direct product of two groups (,) and (,), denoted by . For abelian groups that are written additively, it may also be called the direct sum of two groups, denoted by . It is defined as follows:

  8. Free abelian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_abelian_group

    As well as the direct sum, another way to combine free abelian groups is to use the tensor product of -modules. The tensor product of two free abelian groups is always free abelian, with a basis that is the Cartesian product of the bases for the two groups in the product. [22]

  9. Coproduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coproduct

    The coproduct in the category of sets is simply the disjoint union with the maps i j being the inclusion maps.Unlike direct products, coproducts in other categories are not all obviously based on the notion for sets, because unions don't behave well with respect to preserving operations (e.g. the union of two groups need not be a group), and so coproducts in different categories can be ...
