Talk:Diagonal Complement Relation Compatible with Group Operation

The whole "compatible with operation" thing is kind of awkward. We do have Definition:Ordering Compatible with Ring, so maybe we should add pages like that for algebraic structures, groups, and fields? --Dfeuer (talk) 23:59, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Once you've demonstrated under what conditions a relation is compatible with an operation, why do you need to consider separately the operation in the various structures? Surely if a result holds for a general operation, it's then immaterial what structures that operation is on?


 * And unless you need to redefine the definition, you don't get relations "compatible with group" or "compatible with field" etc, it's an *operation* it's compatible with, not a *structure*. If I'm wrong and you have documentary evidence backing up this usage, feel free to add this different usage to the definition. --prime mover (talk) 06:15, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
