Every finitely generated Abelian group can be decomposed by taking this operation over a series of cyclic groups.
Every finitely generated Abelian group can be decomposed by taking this operation over a series of cyclic groups. Taking this operation on a set of groups creates a new group with a pair of homeomorphisms to the original groups called the coordinate functions. Taking it on a series of compact topological spaces returns a compact topological space according to Tychonoff's theorem while taking it on a pair of sets returns a set of ordered pairs when taking the Cartesian form of this operation. A ring whose nonzero elements form an Abelian group under this operation is called a field. This operation doesn't have inverses for the integers, but does for the rational numbers. For 10 points, name this operation that can be viewed as repeated addition
