Axioms
Peano Arithmetic
The axioms that define the natural numbers. - Good Math pg5.
- Initial Value Rule - There is one object called 0 and 0 is a natural number.
- Successor rule: For every natural number n there is exactly one other natural number called its sucessor, s(n).
- Uniqueness Rule: No two natural numbers have the same sucessor.
- Equality Rules: Numbers can be compared for equality.
- Equality is reflexive: - Every number is equal to itself
- Equality is symmetric: a=b then b=a
- Equality is transitive: if a=b and b=c then a=c
- Induction rule: For P, P is true for all natural numbers if.
- 1. P is true about 0. P(0)=true.
- 2. If you assume P is true for a natural number n(P(n) is true). Then you can prove that P is true for the sucessor s(n) of n, P(s(n) == true.
Addition
- Commutative: n+m = m+n
- Identity: n+0 = 0+n=n
- Recursion: m+s(n) = s(m + n)

Alternative Axiomatic Set Theories The Axioms of Set Theory
ZFC Axioms
The new axiom of set theory and Bell inequality.
There are a few differnt symbolisms of it. Jech and Kunen seem to be popular.
Wikipedia: ZermeloโFraenkel set theory [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Zermelo-FraenkelAxioms.html Wolfram MathWorld: Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms
Axiom of empty set
Seems to be missing from many versions of ZFC since it can apparently be derived from the axiom of infinity. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_empty_set.
- โ๐โ๐ยฌ(๐ โ ๐) - There is a set that no set is a member of it.
- โโ โ๐(๐โโ )
- โโ : โ๐ยฌโ โ
1. Axiom of extensionality
โ๐โ๐[โ๐(๐ โ ๐ โ ๐ โ ๐) โ ๐ = ๐ - Sets are equal if they share the same elements.
Algebraic Structures
Properties
- associative - ๐ถ(๐ท๐ธ) = (๐ถ๐ท)๐ธ. โ๐,๐,๐. ๐โ(๐โ๐)=(๐โ๐)โ๐
- commutative - ๐ถ๐ท = ๐ถ๐ท. โ๐,๐. ๐โ๐=๐โ๐
- Identity element: There exists an element โฏ such that for each element ๐, โฏโ๐ = ๐ = ๐โโฏ ; formally: โโฏ โ๐. โฏโ๐=๐=๐โโฏ. The identity element of multiplication is 1 as 1ร๐=๐=๐ร1. The identity of addition is 0 as 0+๐=๐=๐+0.
- Inverse element: It can easily be seen that the identity element is unique. If this unique identity element is denoted by โฏ then for each ๐, there exists an element ๐พ such that ๐โ๐พ=โฏ=๐พโ๐; formally: โ๐ โ๐พ. ๐โ๐พ=โฏ=๐พโ๐. The multiplicative inverse: ๐ถ๐ถโปยน=1=๐ถโปยน๐ถ
- domain - The set of elements on which a function has a valid definition is it's domain. For ๐ป: XโY, X is the domain.
- codomain / target - The possible set that a function outputs. For ๐ป: XโY, X is the target. There may be things in the target that aren't actually reachable by the function.
- image / range - The set of elements that a function maps to and no more. This is like the target but only the possible elements are in the set. For example the cos function could be defined as having a target of the real numbers, but the range could only be between -1 and 1. It is not always possible to define the range. Concepts of Modern Mathematics (pg. ~67). Some ambiguity as sometimes 'range' refers to the codomain.
- homomorphism - A category of function. Preserves the structure. ๐ป: XโY. ๐ป(a)๐ป(b)=๐ป(c) and ๐ถ๐ท=๐ธ. A homomorphism of vector spaces is referred to as a linear map.
- injection - Each target element must be reachable from only one element in the domain. It does not need to be surjective, meaning that it's possible to have elements in the target that aren't reachable at all. But you can not have an element in the domain that is reachable from more than one target element. cos is not an injection because an infinite number of inputs get mapped to values between -1 and 1.
- surjection (onto) - If every element of a target set T is reachable by a function, that function is a surjection onto T. This means the target is also the range. Does not need to be an injection. - Concepts of Modern Mathematics (pg. 70).
- bijection - A bijection is invertible. It is an injection and a surjection. A function which relates each member of a set S (the domain) to a separate and distinct member of another set T (the range), where each member in T also has a corresponding member in S. A mapping that is both one-to-one (an injection) and onto (a surjection).
- isomorphism - A homomorphism that is also a bijection. An operation-preserving bijection. A homomorphism with an inverse that is also a homomorphism. ๐ป: XโY, โ: YโX
- automorphism - Galios Groups related. An isomorphism from a structure to itself.
- Abelion - An abelian group/operation is commutative.
Structures
Set
- A collection of elements.
Group
An algebraic structure that is a set with a single binary operation.
An infinite group has an unlimited number of elements. (โค, +)
A finite groups has a finite number of elements. (โคโ, +) - The integers mod m.
The order of an element is the number of elements in the subgroup it generates. |2| = 3
- (๐พ, โ) - Group ๐พ with operation โ.
- Axioms
- The operation must be closed. - a,b โ ๐พ โ aโb โ ๐พ
- The operation must be associative. - (aโb)โc = aโ(bโc)
- Operation must have an identity element that has no effect on any other element under operation. โe(aโe = eโa = a).
- Every element must have an inverse. An element when combined with the original will return the identity. โaโaโปยน(aโaโปยน=aโปยนโa=e)
- (โค, +) - The integers under addition.
- Closure: a,b โ โค โ a+b โ โค
- Associativity: (a+b)+c = a+(b+c)
- Identity: a+0 = 0+a = a
- Inverse: aโปยน = -a
- (โค, ร) - The integers under multiplication it not a group
- Closure: a,b โ โค โ aรb โ โค
- Associativity: (aรb)รc = aร(bรc)
- Identity: aร1 = 1รa = a
- NO Inverse: 2x=1 has no solution in โค
- If the operation is also commutative then it is an Abelian group.
- Bill Shillito.
Ring
Similar to a field but multiplication doesn't require an inverse.
โค, โ, โ, โ, โคโ are all unital commutative rings.
๐โ(โ) the set of all 2ร2 real matrices is a non-commutative ring as matrix multiplication is not commutative.
- + must be abelian.
- ร must be closed and associative.
- Bill Shillito - Rings and Fields
- (R, +, โ)
- (R, +) is an abelian group - addition
- Closed
- Associative
- Identity - Additive identity
- Inverse - Additive inverse โa
- Commutative
- (R, โ)
- Closed under ร
- Operation ร must be associative.
- + and ร must be linked by the distributive property. Multiplication distributes over addition.
- aร(b+c) = aรb+aรc
- (a+b)รc = aรc+bรc
- 0รa = aร0 = 0 - Zero times anything is zero
- aรโb = โaรb = โ(aรb) - A positive times a negative is a negative.
- โaรโb = aรb - A negative times a negative is a positive.
- (R, +) is an abelian group - addition
- ร might not be commutative. If it is then it is a commutative ring (not called abelian which is only for groups).
- If the ring has a multiplicative identity then it is a unital ring. For โค, โ, โ, โ, โคโ the multiplicative identity is 1. For ๐โ(โ) it is the identity matrix.
- An element of a unital ring that has a multiplicative inverse is called a unit. Not every element is necessarily a unit. In โค only 1 and โ1.
- If every element other than 0 is a unit. It is a division ring. โ is a division ring.
- A zero divisor of a ring is a nonzero element that can be multiplied by some other nonzero element to produce 0. In โคโ, 2, 3 and 4 are zero divisors. 2ร3=0
- An element can not be a unit and a zero divisor.
- An integral domain is a commutative, unital ring with no zero divisors. โค, โ, โ, โ are integral domains.
- โคโ is not necessarily an integral domain. โคโ is an integral domain if p is a prime number.
- In an integral domain you can cancel factors from both sides of an equation.
2รx=2ร3
Polynomial Ring
A monomial is the product of a number and a non-negative integer power of a variable. eg: 2xยณ
A polynomial is a finite sum of monomials. aโ+aโx+aโxยฒ+aโxยณ+โฆ+aโxโฟ
n is the degree of the polynomial. It's highest power.
Some polynomial rings: โค[๐], โ[๐], โ[๐], โ[๐], โคโ[๐]
In โ[x] we can take congruents to the modulus ๐ยฒ+1. Two polynomials are congruent if their difference is divisible by ๐ยฒ+1. This makes the polynomial ring behave like complex numbers. When using a 'prime' polynomial as modulus, the polynomial ring is a field.
๐ยณ+๐ยฒ-2๐+3 โก -3๐+2 (mod ๐ยฒ+1)
Mentioned in a concrete guide to modern mathematics, page 90.
Field
Like a ring with stricter multiplication axioms.
A field is a division ring where ร is commutative, unital and has no zero divisors and every nonzero element is a unit.
A field forms an abelian group under both addition and multiplication.
- A set with 2 binary operations (+, ร)
- Both must be commutative and associative
- Operations must have identity elements (+ is 0 and ร is 1)
- Every element must have an inverse (x = -x, x = 1/x)
- Must follow the distributive law.
- Must be closed under addition, multiplication, taking of inverses (Results must in in the same set).
โ, โ, โ are fields.
โคโ is a field if p is prime.
โค is not a field.
โ is the completion of โ. It allows for calculus.
โ is algebraically closed. Every polynomial equation in โ[x] has solutions in โ.
But โ is not ordered.
Vector Space
- Like a 2D or 3D plane. Can be built from 'unit vectors' or 'basis'. for example (1,0), (0,1).
- There was a Youtube on the topic (Blue2Brown1).
- Scalar - A number used to multiply a vector. Infinite dimensional vector spaces exist such as when vectors are functions.
- โโฟ - A vector space of n-dimensions over the field โ. โ is the scalar type. โยฒ, โยณ, etc...
Common Groups
- Dโ - Dihedral Groups - A dihedral group is the group of symmetries of a regular polygon, which includes rotations and reflections. Dโ is the dihedral group of the triangle. Dโโ Zโ, Dโโ Kโ.
- Sโ - Symmetry Groups - Sโ the symmetric group of 3 elements. Sโ is isomorphic to Dโ. (Sโ โ Dโ)
- O(n) - Orthogonal group - Reflections & rotations. The group of distance-preserving transformations of a Euclidean space of dimension n that preserve a fixed point, where the group operation is given by composing transformations (โ). It is equivalent to the group of nรn orthogonal matrices, where the group operation is given by matrix multiplication; an orthogonal matrix is a real matrix whose inverse equals its transpose.
- SO(n) - Special Orthogonal - Rotation group. SO(2) is the circle group. SO(3) is the group of all rotations about the origin of three-dimensional Euclidean space โยณ under the operation of composition (โ). eg Roll, Pitch, Yaw. SO(n) โค O(n).
- POโ(โ) - Projective orthogonal group. PSO(V) for projective special orthogonal group.
- GLโ(๐ฝ) - General Linear - The group of all nรn matrices with non-zero determinants under matrix multiplication. nonabelian group because matrix operations are non-commutative. The set of nรn invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication. The group GLโ(โ) over the field of real numbers is a real Lie group of dimension nยฒ as the set of all nรn real matrices, Mโ(โ), forms a real vector space of dimension nยฒ.
- Special Linear: SL(n) - Is the subgroup of GL(n, ๐ฝ) consisting of matrices with a determinant of 1. These form a group because the product of two matrices with determinant 1 again has determinant 1.
- ฮLโ(โ) - General semilinear group. Contains GL.
- Sp(n) - The compact symplectic group Sp(n) is often written as USp(2n), indicating the fact that it is isomorphic to the group of unitary symplectic matrices.
- Sp(2n, ๐ฝ) - The symplectic group of degree 2n over a field ๐ฝ is the group of 2n ร 2n symplectic matrices with entries in ๐ฝ, and with the group operation that of matrix multiplication. Since all symplectic matrices have determinant 1, the symplectic group is a subgroup of the special linear group SL(2n, ๐ฝ).
- Uโ(โ) - The unitary group - A group preserving a sesquilinear form on a module. There is a subgroup, the special unitary group SUโ(โ).
