  1. Algebra over a field - Wikipedia

    • In mathematics, an algebra over a field (often simply called an algebra) is a vector space equipped with a bilinear product. Thus, an algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with operations of multiplication and addition and scalar multiplication by elements of a field and satisfying the axioms implied by "vector space" and "bilinear". … See more

    Definition and motivation

    Let K be a field, and let A be a vector space over K equipped with an additional binary operation from A × A to A, … See more

    Basic concepts

    Given K-algebras A and B, a homomorphism of K-algebras or K-algebra homomorphism is a K-linear map f: A → B such that f(xy) = f(x) f(y) for all x, y in A. If A and B are unital, then a homomorphism satisfying f(… See more

    Kinds of algebras and examples

    Algebras over fields come in many different types. These types are specified by insisting on some further axioms, such as commutativity or associativity of the multiplication operation, which are not required in … See more

    Structure coefficients

    For algebras over a field, the bilinear multiplication from A × A to A is completely determined by the multiplication of basis elements of A. Conversely, once a basis for A has been chosen, the products of basis elements c… See more

    Generalization: algebra over a ring

    In some areas of mathematics, such as commutative algebra, it is common to consider the more general concept of an algebra over a ring, where a commutative ring R replaces the field K. The only part of the definitio… See more
