An algebraic structure consists of a set of elements, with some rule of combining them, or some special property of selected subsets of the entire set. Many algebraic structures, such as vector space and group, come to everyday use of a modern physicist. Catering to the needs of graduate students and researchers in the field of mathematical physics and theoretical physics, this comprehensive and valuable text discusses the essential concepts of algebraic structures such as metric space, group, modular numbers, algebraic integers, field, vector space, Boolean algebra, measure space and Lebesgue integral. Important topics including finite and infinite dimensional vector spaces, finite groups and their representations, unitary groups and their representations and representations of the Lorentz group, homotopy and homology of topological spaces are covered extensively. Rich pedagogy includes various problems interspersed throughout the book for better understanding of concepts.

A reader-friendly introduction to modern algebra with important examples from various areas of mathematics Featuring a clear and concise approach, An Introduction to Essential Algebraic Structures presents an integrated approach to basic concepts of modern algebra and highlights topics that play a central role in various branches of mathematics. The authors discuss key topics of abstract and modern algebra including sets, number systems, groups, rings, and fields. The book begins with an exposition of the elements of set theory and moves on to cover the main ideas and branches of abstract algebra. In addition, the book includes: Numerous examples throughout to deepen readers’ knowledge of the presented material An exercise set after each chapter section in an effort to build a deeper understanding of the subject and improve knowledge retention Hints and answers to select exercises at the end of the book A supplementary website with an Instructors Solutions manual An Introduction to Essential Algebraic Structures is an excellent textbook for introductory courses in abstract algebra as well as an ideal reference for anyone who would like to be more familiar with the basic topics of abstract algebra.

Arising from a special session held at the 2010 North American Annual Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, this volume is an international cross-disciplinary collaboration with contributions from leading experts exploring connections across their respective fields. Themes range from philosophical examination of the foundations of physics and quantum logic, to exploitations of the methods and structures of operator theory, category theory, and knot theory in an effort to gain insight into the fundamental questions in quantum theory and logic. The book will appeal to researchers and students working in related fields, including logicians, mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists. A brief introduction provides essential background on quantum mechanics and category theory, which, together with a thematic selection of articles, may also serve as the basic material for a graduate course or seminar.

In algebra there are four basic structures: groups, rings, fields and modules. In this book the theory of these basic structures is presented and the laws of composition - the basic operations of algebra - are studied. Essentially, no previous knowledge is required, it is only assumed as background that the reader has learned some linear algebra over the real numbers.Dieses Lehrbuch, verfasst von einem anerkannten amerikanischen Mathematiker, ist eine unkonventionelle Einführung in die Algebra. Es gibt vier grundlegende Strukturen in der Algebra: Gruppen, Ringe, Körper und Moduln. Das Buch behandelt die Theorie dieser Strukturen und beschreibt die Verknüpfungsregeln, die grundlegenden Operationen der Algebra. Die Darstellung ist elementar: es werden nur Kenntnisse der Linearen Algebra vorausgesetzt, weitere Fachkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich.

This textbook serves as an introduction to groups, rings, fields, vector and tensor spaces, algebras, topological spaces, differentiable manifolds and Lie groups --- mathematical structures which are foundational to modern theoretical physics. It is aimed primarily at undergraduate students in physics and mathematics with no previous background in these topics. Applications to physics --- such as the metric tensor of special relativity, the symplectic structures associated with Hamilton's equations and the Generalized Stokes's Theorem --- appear at appropriate places in the text. Worked examples, end-of-chapter problems (many with hints and some with answers) and guides to further reading make this an excellent book for self-study. Upon completing this book the reader will be well prepared to delve more deeply into advanced texts and specialized monographs in theoretical physics or mathematics.

Relationships of the theory of integrable systems with various branches of mathematics are extremely deep and diverse. On the other hand, the most fundamental exactly integrable systems often have applications in theoretical physics. Therefore, many mathematicians and physicists are interested in integrable models. The book is intelligible to graduate and PhD students and can serve as an introduction to separate sections of the theory of classical integrable systems for scientists with algebraic inclinations. For the young, the book can serve as a starting point in the study of various aspects of integrability, while professional algebraists will be able to use some examples of algebraic structures, which appear in the theory of integrable systems, for wide-ranging generalizations. The statements are formulated in the simplest possible form. However, some ways of generalization are indicated. In the proofs, only essential points are mentioned, while for technical details, references are provided. The focus is on carefully selected examples. In addition, the book proposes many unsolved problems of various levels of complexity. A deeper understanding of every chapter of the book may require the study of more rigorous and specialized literature.
