It occurs throughout abstract algebra, particularly in group theory, ring theory, and linear algebra. If two elements commute, their commutator is trivial. More generally, the commutator describes the obstruction to exchanging the order of two operations. Commutators are fundamental in the study of noncommutative structures and in the construction of i..."
