called a zero semigroup) is a semigroup with an absorbing element, called zero, in which the product of any two elements is zero. If every element of a semigroup...

module is a module over a ring such that zero is the only element annihilated by a regular element (non zero-divisor) of the ring. In other words, a module...

with zero morphisms. If C is a preadditive category, then every hom-set Hom(X,Y) is an abelian group and therefore has a zero element. These zero elements...

group structure is usually identified as addition, and the only element is called zero, so the object itself is typically denoted as {0}. One often refers...

mathematics, the zero ring or trivial ring is the unique ring (up to isomorphism) consisting of one element. (Less commonly, the term "zero ring" is used...

positive integer). In a field of order pk, adding p copies of any element always results in zero; that is, the characteristic of the field is p. For q = pk,...

the "empty sum is zero" extension is standard practice in mathematics and computer programming (assuming the domain has a zero element). For the same reason...
