\abbreviation{AbGrp}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{abelian group} is a structure $\mathbf{G}=\langle
G,+,-,0\rangle$, where $+$ is an infix binary operation, called the 
\emph{group addition}, $-$ is a prefix unary operation, called the 
\emph{group negative} and $0$ is a constant (nullary operation), called the \emph{additive identity element}, such that

$+$ is commutative:  $x+y=y+x$

$+$ is associative:  $(x+y)+z=x+(y+z)$

$0$ is an additive identity for $+$:  $0+x=x$

$-$ gives an additive inverse for $+$:  $-x+x=0$
\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{G}$ and $\mathbf{H}$ be abelian groups. A morphism from $\mathbf{G}$ to $\mathbf{H}$ is a function $h:G\rightarrow H$ that is a
homomorphism: 
$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$

Remark: It follows that $h(-x)= -h(x)$, $h(0)=0$.

\end{morphisms}

\begin{examples}
\begin{example}
$\langle \mathbb{Z}, +, -, 0\rangle $, the integers, with addition, unary subtraction, and zero. The variety of abelian groups is generated by this algebra.
