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:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
