Abstract Algebra
Tensor product of fields
This is an operation on fields, that does not always produce a field.
Tensor product of R-algebras
Clifford module
A representation of a Clifford algebra which gives a realisation of a Clifford algebra as a matrix algebra.
Tor functors
These are the derived functors of the tensor product, and feature strongly in homological algebra. The name comes from the torsion subgroup in abelian group theory.
Symbolic method of invariant theory
Derived category Grothendieck's six operations
These are highly abstract approaches used in some parts of geometry.

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or algebra:
“One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
