Definition
Let $G$ be a group.
Its abelianization is the quotient by its commutator subgroup:
- $G^{\mathrm {ab} } = G / \sqbrk {G, G}$

Linguistic Note
The British English form of abelianization is abelianisation.
On $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ it is the norm to use American English, so the spelling abelianisation will rarely be encountered here, if at all.
