  Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (except division by zero) may be performed, and the same rules hold which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary numbers.
Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide a useful generalization of many number systems, such as the rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers.
For a given field F, the set F(X) of rational functions in the variable X with coefficients in F is a field; this is defined as the set of quotients of polynomials with coefficients in F.

In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure in which the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (except division by zero) may be performed and the associative, commutative, and distributive rules hold, which are familiar from the arithmetic of ordinary numbers.
Fields are important objects of study in algebra since they provide the proper generalization of number domains, such as the sets of rational numbers, real numbers, or complex numbers.

 Algebra over a field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Algebras can also more generally be defined over any commutative ring K: we need a module A over K and a bilinear multiplication operation which satisfies the same identities as above; then A is a K-algebra, and K is the base ring of A.
When the algebra can be endowed with a metric, then the structure coefficients are written with upper and lower indices, so as to distinguish their transformation properties under coordinate transformations.
A commutative algebra is one whose multiplication is commutative; an associative algebra is one whose multiplication is associative.

Algebra is a branch of mathematics which may be roughly characterized as a generalization and extension of arithmetic; it also refers to a particular kind of abstract algebra structure, the algebra over a field.
* abstract algebra, where algebraic structures such as groups, rings and as fields are axiomatically defined and investigated.
In advanced studies axiomatic algebraic systems like groups, rings, fields, and algebras over a field are investigated in the presence of a natural topology compatible with algebraic structure.

 Algebraic Areas of Mathematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The use of algebra is pervasive in mathematics.
Of particular interest are several classes of rings of interest in number theory, field theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas; however, other classes of rings arise, and a rich structure theory arises to analyze commutative rings in general, using the concepts of ideals, localizations, and homological algebra.
The study of multiple fields is important for the study of polynomial equations, and thus has applications to number theory and group theory.

For instance, the field of all algebraic numbers is an infinite algebraic extension of the rational numbers.
Every field has an algebraic extension which is algebraically closed (called its algebraic closure), but proving this in general requires some form of the axiom of choice.
For example, C (the field of complex numbers) is an extension of R (the field of real numbers), and R is itself an extension of Q (the field of rational numbers).

In mathematics, an algebra over a field K, or a K-algebra, is a vector space A over K equipped with a compatible notion ofmultiplication of elements of A.
Algebras can also more generally be defined over any commutativering K: we need a module A overK and a bilinear multiplication operation which satisfies the same identities as above; then A is aK-algebra, and K is the base ring of A.

We discuss some non-standard applications of computer algebra in field theories based on the formal theory of differential equations and present a general programming environment for differential equations currently under construction in MuPAD.
In fact, this application has been quite important for the history of computer algebra, as it was one of the driving forces behind the development of the first general purpose systems like Reduce in the sixties.
Due to the presence of the gauge symmetry, field equations are under-determined and constraints appear.

The notion of vertex algebra can be considered as a generalization of that of unital commutative associative algebra where the product depends on a parameter.
For example, the algebra of matrices with entries in a vertex algebra, or the smash product of a vertex algebra and a group of its automorphisms, is a field algebra.
I also establish the field algebra analogues of the density and duality theorems in the representation theory of associative algebras, and formulate a conjecture on orbifold vertex algebras.

 Algebras over a field   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
An algebra over k, or more simply a k-algebra, is an associative ring A with unit together with a copy of k in the center of A (whose unit element coincides with that of A).
We'll generally be concerned only with algebras that are finite-dimensional as k-vector spaces, and will have to assume some further structures or conditions on the algebras to get reasonable descriptions.
Examples are k, K, or indeed any division algebra (also known as a ``skew field'', ``corps gauche'' in French), such as H; a division algebra A doesn't even have any one-sided ideals other than A and {0}.

Assuming that around the tachyon vacuum the kinetic term of cubic open string field theory is made purely of ghost operators we are led to gauge invariant actions which manifestly implement the absence of open string dynamics around this vacuum.
Using the data of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Neumann matrices in the 3-string vertex, we prove analytically that the ghost kinetic operator of vacuum string field theory obtained by Hata and Kawano is equal to the ghost operator inserted at the open string midpoint.
