Operator Theory
A homomorphism is a structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, or algebras. It preserves the operations defined on these structures, meaning that the image of the operation in one structure corresponds to the operation in the other structure. In the context of Banach algebras and C*-algebras, homomorphisms play a vital role in understanding how different algebras relate to one another, particularly in terms of their algebraic properties and topological structures.
congrats on reading the definition of Homomorphism. now let's actually learn it.
