In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set. The larger set is then said to be generated by the smaller set.

Color chargeColor chargeColor charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue. Additionally, there are three "anti-colors", commonly called anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue.Lie groupLie groupGroup that is also a differentiable manifold with group operations that are smoothMomentumMomentumIn Newtonian mechanics, momentum (pl.: momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.Topological algebraIn mathematics, a topological algebra A {\displaystyle A} is an algebra and at the same time a topological space, where the algebraic and the topological structures are coherent in a specified sense.Angular momentumAngular momentumAngular momentum (sometimes called moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational analog of linear momentum. It is an important physical quantity because it is a conserved quantity – the total angular momentum of an isolated system remains constant. Angular momentum has both a direction and a magnitude, and both are conserved. Bicycles and motorcycles, flying discs, rifled bullets, and gyroscopes owe their useful properties to conservation of angular momentum.SubringSubringIn mathematics, a subring of a ringR is a subset of R that is itself a ring when binary operations of addition and multiplication on R are restricted to the subset, and that shares the same multiplicative identity as R. DefinitionA subring of a ring (R, +, *, 0, 1) is a subset S of R that preserves the structure of the ring, i.e. a ring (S, +, *, 0, 1) with S ⊆ R. Equivalently, it is both a subgroup of (R, +, 0) and a submonoid of (R, *, 1).RotationRotationRotation, also known as rotational motion or rotary motion, is the movement of an object that leaves at least one point unchanged. In 2 dimensions, a plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a point called the center of rotation. In 3 dimensions, a solid figure rotates around an imaginary line called an axis of rotation.MathematicsMathematicsMathematics is a field of knowledge concerned with abstract concepts such as numbers, geometric shapes, sets, functions, and probabilities. It uses logical reasoning and proof to study and establish their properties, often expressed as theorems, formulas, and equations. Mathematics is used to model and solve problems in science, engineering, technology, economics, and everyday life.PhysicsPhysics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. It is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines.Set (mathematics)Set (mathematics)In mathematics, a set is a collection of different things; the things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometric shapes, variables, functions, or even other sets. Mathematics typically does not define precisely what constitutes a "set" or "collection", because such a definition would have to be in terms of something else previously defined.Operation (mathematics)Operation (mathematics)In mathematics, an operation is a function that takes as input a fixed number of elements of a set and returns an element of the same set. For example, addition on real numbers is an operation that accepts two real numbers and returns a real number. In general, the input values may be called "operands" or "arguments". The number of operands is the arity of the operation. The arity is usually one of 0,1,2,…{\displaystyle 0,1,2,\ldots }.Lie algebraLie algebraAlgebraic structure used in analysis
