  Kernel (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kernels in abstract algebra are general constructions which measure the failure of a homomorphism or function to be injective.
In set theory, the kernel of a function f : X → Y is an equivalence relation on X which is defined in terms of f.
The kernel pair of a morphism f is defined as a pullback of f with itself.

 Kernel (category theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In category theory and its applications to other branches of mathematics, kernels are a generalization of the kernels of group homomorphisms and the kernels of module homomorphisms and certain other kernels from algebra.
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.

The same is true for the category of abelian groups as well as for the category of modules over a fixed ring.

Similarly, the category of all small categories with functors as morphisms has the empty category as initial object and the one-object-one-morphism category as terminal object.

 Adjoint functors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
(Category theory discusses the structure concept in mathematics as a whole; see also algebraic structure, structure (category theory).) Like much of category theory, the general notion of adjoint functors arises at an abstract level beyond the everyday usage of mathematicians.
Like many of the concepts in category theory, it was suggested by the needs of homological algebra, which was at the time devoted to computations.

Unrelated to this, if f is any function in any context, then the kernel of f is a certain equivalence relation on the domain of f which is defined in terms of f.
But in the case of Mal'cev algebras, it can be replaced by a simpler definition; the kernel of a homomorphism f is the preimage under f of the zero element of the codomain.
Finally, for this last notion of kernel is generalised in a certain sense in category theory; the kernel of a morphism f is the difference kernel of f and the corresponding zero morphism (if this exists).

 Kernel (category theory)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Intuitively, the kernel of the morphism f : X → Y is the "most general" morphism k : K → X which, when composed with f, yields zero.
In that case, if f : X → Y is an arbitrary morphism in C, then a kernel of f is an equaliser of f and the zero morphism from X to Y.
To be explicit, if f : X → Y is a homomorphism in one of these categories, and K is its kernel in the usual algebraic sense, then K is a subalgebra of X and the inclusion homomorphism from K to X is a kernel in the categorical sense.

 M. SC. THESIS
In the theory of rings and modules of quotients, there is, associated with each ring of quotients of a ring R, a notion of torsion for modules over R ([Stenström, Rings and modules of quotients, LNM 237, Springer, 1971], II.3).
The extension of fundamental ideas and constructions of one area of Mathematics to another one is one of the aims of the Theory of Categories.
At this point it is possible to study torsion theories in categories with initial and terminal objects.

 SUO: Composing Ontologies using morphisms and colimits
Category theory (CT) is a general, powerful, and fundamental approach, which can be used as an alternative to set theory (ST) as a foundation for mathematics in general and the model theories for logic(s) in particular.
Bottom line: Nothing in the KIF kernel, as it is currently being developed, is incompatible with either a CT or an ST foundation.
But when extensions to the kernel are being contemplated or developed, we should confer with the CT experts about how such extensions might be defined in a way that does not create incompatibilities with a CT approach.

 York University: Category seminar
Under certain hypotheses, this simple remark may be extended to lax algebras, and leads by way of the Kleisli category of the associated monad to a certain "neighborhood presentation" of the theory of lax algebras.
ABSTRACT: Following the description by Manes [1] of the category of compact Hausdorff spaces as the Eilenberg-Moore category for the ultrafilter monad, Barr [2] showed that by weakening the axioms for a monad and the subsequent algebras, the Eilenberg-Moore category could be seen to be isomorphic to the category of topological spaces.

Kernel trick The kernel trick was first published in the paper M. Aizerman, E. Braverman, and L. Rozonoer.
The kernel trick uses Mercer's theorem, which states that any positive definite kernel K(x, y) can be expressed as a dot product in a high-dimensional space.
The kernel may be denoted "=f" (or a variation) and may be defined symbolically as Like any equivalence relation, the kernel can be modded out by to form a quotient set.

 Reduced K-theory of Azumaya Algebras, by Roozbeh Hazrat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In the theory of central simple algebras, often we are dealing with abelian groups which arise from the kernel or co-kernel of functors which respect transfer maps (for example K-functors).
The common examples are kernel or co-kernel of the maps K_i(F) --> K_i(D), where K_i are Quillen K-groups, D is a division algebra and F its centre, or the homotopy fiber arising from the long exact sequence of above map, or reduced Whitehead group SK_1.
In this note we introduce an abstract functor over the category of Azumaya algebras which covers all the functors mentioned above and prove the usual calculus for it.

 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.
Most of the major algorithms currently installed in the Magma kernel are state-of-the-art and give performance similar to, or better than, specialized programs.

One strain of Marxist theory is construed as inherence utopianism.
One reason to be wary of utopian or dystopian inherence theories is that they encourage a tendency toward blanket denunciation and renunciation of the Internet, or the blanket opposite, when what is needed is a piecemeal evaluation of this or that use of it, this or that tool that is enabled by the Internet meta-tool.

There is a long thread going on about something completely offtopic, unrelated to the kernel, and even some people who are in the "Who's who" section of this FAQ are mingling in it.
Some kernel developers, including Linus and Marcelo, have chosen to use BitKeeper to manage their kernel source trees, but this does not mean you need to use BitKeeper yourself to maintain your trees or submit patches.
Also different vendors tend to inject different things into their kernel patch-sets, which again may subtly change data layouts, etc. In stable kernel series great pains are suffered at maintenance so that data layouts of in-kernel APIs (and API calls themselves) are not changed.

Abstract: In this article we briefly present the idea of defining a kernel for object role modelling techniques, upon which different drawing styles can be based.
We propose such a kernel (the ORM kernel) and define, as a case study, an ER and a NIAM drawing style on top of it.
One of the prominent advantages of such a kernel is the possibility to build a CASE-tool supporting multiple methods.
