  Kernel (algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the various branches of mathematics that fall under the heading of abstract algebra, the kernel of a homomorphism measures the degree to which the homomorphism fails to be injective.
The first isomorphism theorem in general universal algebra states that this quotient algebra is naturally isomorphic to the image of f (which is a subalgebra of B).
Every Mal'cev algebra has a special neutral element (the zero vector in the case of vector spaces, the identity element in the case of groups, and the zero element in the case of rings or modules).

 Kernel (category theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kernels are familiar in many categories from abstract algebra, such as the category of groups or the category of (left) modules over a fixed ring (including vector spaces over a fixed field).
That is, the kernel of a morphism is its cokernel in the opposite category, and vice versa.
Universal algebra defines a notion of kernel for homomorphisms between two algebraic structures of the same kind.

 PlanetMath: Lie algebra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Lie algebras are so-named in honour of Sophus Lie, a Norwegian mathematician who pioneered the study of these mathematical objects.
Thus the task of classifying group actions in the plane became the task of classifying all finite-dimensional Lie algebras of planar vector field; a project that Lie brought to a successful conclusion.

 PREFACE
The computer algebra system Magma is designed to provide a software environment for computing with the structures which arise in areas such as algebra, number theory, algebraic geometry and (algebraic) combinatorics.
Algebraic Design Philosophy: The design principles underpinning both the user language and system architecture are based on ideas from universal algebra and category theory.
Algebraic structures are first classified by variety: a variety being a class of structures having the same set of defining operators and satisfying a common set of axioms.

 GNU
In the GNU Manifesto, Stallman had mentioned that "an initial kernel exists but many more features are needed to emulate Unix." He was referring to TRIX, a remote procedure call kernel developed at MIT, whose authors had decided to distribute for free, and was compatible with UNIX version 7.
By 1988, the MACH message-passing kernel being developed at CMU was being considered instead, although it was intially delayed while its developers removed code owned by AT&T.
Initially, the kernel was to be called Alix, but developer Michael Bushnell later preferred the name Hurd, so the Alix name was moved to a subsystem and eventually dropped completely.

Hopf algebra An abstract algebraic object, generalizing a group or a Lie algebra, with enough structure to have a representation theory.
Given a vector space of functions of a parameter or functions on a manifold, an operator may have a kernel or matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by the parameter or by points on the manifold.
Lie algebra An algebraic structure on a vector space which describes multiplication of elements of a Lie group which are very close to the identity (infinitesimal transformations).

 Search Results for algebra
The conceptual flavour of homological algebra derives less specifically from topology than from the general "naturalistic" trend of mathematics as a whole to supplement the study of the anatomy of any mathematical entity with an analysis of its behaviour under the maps belonging to the larger mathematical system with which it is associated.
In particular, homological algebra is concerned not so much with the intrinsic structure of modules but primarily with the pattern of compositions of homomorphisms between modules and their interplay with the various constructions by which new modules may be obtained from given ones.
Her 1967 paper was entitled Finiteness of semigroups of operators in universal algebra and in it she studied operators on classes of algebraic universal algebras.

 The Magma Philosophy
Magma is a Computer Algebra system designed to solve problems in algebra, number theory, geometry and combinatorics that may involve sophisticated mathematics and which are computationally hard.
The kernel of Magma contains implementations of many of the important concrete classes of structure in five fundamental branches of algebra, namely group theory, ring theory, field theory, module theory and the theory of algebras.

 ON NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY, QUANTUM & SUPER THINGIES.
Robert Geroch suggested the idea of (nonlinear) Einstein Algebras whose elements are solutions of the Einstein equations [Geroch 1972] There, the combining of solutions to produce other solutions would have to be nonlinear operations unlike the usual addition and multiplication of linear operators; therein lieth exactly the difficulty in developing this idea.
The Hilbert space is not actually the point or quantum theory; rather, the structure of the algebra of quantum mechanical observables derived from the appropriate Heisenberg algebra is the point.
Algebraic structures that related to Lie algebraic structures are the Superlie algebraic structures classified by Marc Kac, and these are built on the notion of supergeometry that combines a commutative Euclidean geometry with an anticommutative Grassmannian geometry into a space with two sectors of these different types.

 CJM - Some norms on universal enveloping algebras
The universal enveloping algebra, $U(\frak g)$, of a Lie algebra $\frak g$ supports some norms and seminorms that have arisen naturally in the context of heat kernel analysis on Lie groups.
It is shown that the norms corresponding to heat kernels on the associated Lie groups decompose as product norms under the natural isomorphism $U(\frak g_1 \oplus \frak g_2) \cong U(\frak g_1) \otimes U(\frak g_2)$.
The seminorms corresponding to Green's functions are examined at a purely Lie algebra level for $\rmsl(2,\Bbb C)$.

 A CONCEPT OF QUANTUM GRAVITY
As Lie group su(2) happens to be the universal covering group of the doubly connected Lie group so(3), every so(n) for n > 2 is doubly connected and has a similar spin(n) group as its universal covering group.
Lorentz structure, or rather its algebraic abstraction to its Lie algebra of generators turns out to be an almost spanning structure of the very simplest of general quantum structures.
This has similarity in structure to the propagation Kernel in Feynman's formulation of QM by path integrals, [Feynman 1965] suggesting the truth of Feynman's prediction that the path integral formulation or propagation kernel formulation is conceptually more general than any standard formulation of quantum theory.

Once the remote kernels are launched, they are ready to receive commands from the master machine.
Also, if a series of commands needs to be carried out, rather than wait for one kernel to finish all of them, a set of separate kernels can handle these tasks faster by having each kernel handle one of the commands.
However, the messaging interface is optimized for communications between Mathematica kernels and other programs that communicate via the MathLink API so as to avoid a requirement for large amounts of extra information with each message and the need for complex encoding or decoding of message headers.
