List of Generators
A list of examples of generating sets follow.
- Generating set of an algebra: If A is a ring and B is an A-algebra, then S generates B if the only sub-A-algebra of B containing S is B itself.
- Generating set of a group: A set of group elements which are not contained in any subgroup of the group other than the entire group itself.
- Generating set of a ring: A subset S of a ring A generates A if the only subring of A containing S is A itself.
- Generating set of an ideal in a ring.
- A generator (category theory), in category theory, is an object that can be used to distinguish morphisms.
- In topology, a collection of sets which generate the topology is called a subbase.
- Generating set of a topological algebra: S is a generating set of a topological algebra A if the smallest closed subalgebra of A containing S is A itself.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
