CEP subgroup 1970-01-01
CEP stands for "Centralizer-Infinitely Generated Abelian Part." In the context of group theory, the CEP subgroup of a group is a specific subset that captures certain properties of the group's structure. The concept of the CEP subgroup is often related to the study of groups in terms of their centralizers, which are subgroups formed by elements that commute with a given subset of the group.

The Carnot group is a specific type of mathematical structure found in the field of differential geometry and geometric analysis, often studied within the context of sub-Riemannian geometry and metric geometry. In particular, Carnot groups are a class of nilpotent Lie groups that can be understood in terms of their underlying algebraic structures.
Cartan–Brauer–Hua theorem 1970-01-01
The Cartan–Brauer–Hua theorem is a result in the field of representation theory and the theory of algebraic groups, particularly regarding representations of certain classes of algebras. It mainly deals with the representation theory of semisimple algebras and is associated with the work of mathematicians Henri Cartan, Richard Brauer, and Shiing-Shen Chern, who made significant contributions to the understanding of group representations and the structure of algebraic objects.
Cartan–Dieudonné theorem 1970-01-01
The Cartan–Dieudonné theorem is a result in differential geometry and linear algebra that characterizes elements of a projective space using linear combinations of certain vectors.

The term "complete field" can refer to different concepts depending on the context. Here are a few possible interpretations: 1. **Mathematics (Field Theory)**: In algebra, a "field" is a set equipped with two operations that generalize the arithmetic of the rational numbers. A "complete field" might refer to a field that is complete with respect to a particular norm or metric.
Component theorem 1970-01-01
In the context of topology and algebraic topology, the term "component theorem" can refer to several different theorems concerning the structure of topological spaces, graphs, or abstract algebraic structures like groups or rings. However, without a specific area of mathematics in mind, it’s challenging to pin down exactly which "component theorem" you are referring to.
Composite field (mathematics) 1970-01-01
In mathematics, particularly in the study of field theory, a **composite field** is formed by taking the combination (or extension) of two or more fields.
Congruence-permutable algebra 1970-01-01
Congruence-permutable algebras are a class of algebras studied in universal algebra and related fields. An algebraic structure is generally described by a set along with a collection of operations and relations defined on that set. The concept of congruences in algebra refers to certain equivalence relations that respect the operations of the algebra.

Duflo isomorphism 1970-01-01
The Duflo isomorphism is a concept in the field of mathematics, specifically in the study of Lie algebras and representation theory. Named after the mathematician Michel Duflo, this isomorphism establishes a deep connection between the functions on a Lie group and the representation theory of its corresponding Lie algebra.
Fitting's theorem 1970-01-01
Fitting's theorem, named after the mathematician W. Fitting, is a result in the field of group theory, specifically concerning the structure of finite groups. It provides important information about the composition of a finite group in terms of its normal subgroups and nilpotent components.
Fontaine–Mazur conjecture 1970-01-01
The Fontaine–Mazur conjecture is a significant conjecture in number theory, particularly in the areas of Galois representations and modular forms. Proposed by Pierre Fontaine and Bertrand Mazur in the 1990s, the conjecture relates to the solutions of certain Diophantine equations and the nature of Galois representations.
Free ideal ring 1970-01-01
A **free ideal ring** is a concept from abstract algebra that relates to ring theory. Specifically, it refers to a certain kind of algebraic structure derived from a free set of generators. Let me explain it in more detail. ### Definitions: 1. **Ring**: A ring is a set equipped with two operations: addition and multiplication, satisfying certain axioms (such as associativity, distributivity, etc.).
Freudenthal algebra 1970-01-01
The Freudenthal algebra, also known as the Freudenthal triple system, is a mathematical structure introduced by Hans Freudenthal in the context of nonlinear algebra. It is primarily used in the study of certain Lie algebras and has connections to exceptional Lie groups and projective geometry. A Freudenthal triple system is defined as a vector space \( V \) equipped with a bilinear product, which satisfies specific axioms.
