a category with "morphisms between morphisms".

For questions regarding groups of even prime power order, as distinct from p-groups in general. Topics include 2-groups of maximal class, 2-groups as Sylow subgroups, and the conjecture that almost al…

For things related to 3 dimensions. For geometry of 3-dimensional solids, please use instead (solid-geometry). For non-planar geometry, but otherwise agnostic of dimensions, perhaps (euclidean-geometr…

For questions about and related to the abc conjecture.

categories that possess most of properties of categories of modules over a ring, e.g. abelian group structure on morphisms, existence of kernels and cokernels of morphisms, exis…

Should be used with the (group-theory) tag. A group $(G,*)$ is said to be abelian if $a*b=b*a$ for all $a,b\in G.$

for questions related to absolute convergence a series.

An example of a total computable function that is not primitive recursive; appears in the literature in many variants. The original three argument variant can be used to define the Ackermann numbers.

For questions dealing with additive categories.

about giving combinatorial estimates of addition and subtraction operations on Abelian groups or other algebraic objects. Key words: sum set estimates, inverse theorems, grap…

For questions on groups and rings of adeles, self-dual topological rings built on an algebraic number field.

a square matrix used to represent a finite graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not. In the special case of a finite simple graph…

For questions about adjoint functors from category theory. Use in conjunction with the tag (category-theory).

Questions asking for advice on various mathematical matters. Be careful that your question is answerable, and also that it is not a polling question (e.g. "What is the best / your favorite way to..."…

The spectrum of a commutative ring with unit is the set of prime ideals endowed with the Zariski topology. One can define a sheaf of rings on this space : to each Zariski-open set is assigned a commut…

for questions related to an affine variety over an algebraically-closed field.
