Given a commutative ring , a term is left cancellative if for all and , implies .
Given A a term additively cancellative commutative semiring , a is termright cancellative is if for allleft cancellative if and for all , and , implies implies .
A An term is right cancellative if for it all is both left cancellative and right cancellative. and , implies .
An The termmonoid of cancellative elements in is the subset of all cancellative elements incancellative if it is both left cancellative and right cancellative.

Given a commutative ring , a term is left invertible if the fiber of right multiplication by at is inhabited.
A Euclidean semiring is a additively cancellative commutative semiring for which there exists a function from the multiplicative submonoid of cancellative elements in to the natural numbers, often called a degree function, a function called the division function, and a function called the remainder function, such that for all and , and either or .
A term is right invertible if the fiber of left multiplication by at is inhabited.
Given a commutative ring , an element is non-cancellative if: if there is an element with injection such that , then . An element is non-invertible if: if there is an element with injection such that , then .
An term is invertible or a unit if it is both left invertible and right invertible.
-abelian groups are pointed objects in abelian groups
The -abelian groups are unital magma objects in abelian groupsgroup of units in is the subset of all units in
-abelian groups are monoid objects in abelian groups
Given a commutative ring , the monoid of cancellative elements in is denoted as with injection and the group of units is denoted as with injection . An element is non-cancellative if for all elements , if , then . An element is non-invertible if for all elements , if , then .
A commutative ring is an integral domain if every non-cancellative element is equal to zero. A commutative ring is a field if every non-invertible element is equal to zero.
