Abelian group

Group

A group $(G,\oplus )$ is a set G together with an operation

$\oplus :G\times G\longrightarrow G$

with the following properties:

Identity

There is a unique element 0 in G such that for all elements g in G, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g\oplus\mathbf 0=g} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \mathbf 0\oplus g=g} .

Inverse

For every element g in G there is a unique element Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {}^\ominus\! g} such that $g\oplus {}^{\ominus }\!g=\mathbf {0}$ and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {}^\ominus\! g\oplus g=\mathbf 0} .

Associativity
