Proof
(related to Proposition: Algebraic Structure of Non-Zero Complex Numbers Together with Multiplication)
The set of complex numbers with the number zero \(0\) excluded, denoted by \(\mathbb C^*\), together with the specific multiplication operation
"\(\cdot\)" is a commutative group. This is because:
- The multiplication operation is associative, i.e. \((x\cdot y)\cdot z=x\cdot (y\cdot z)\) is valid for all \(x,y,z\in\mathbb C^*\).
- We have shown the existence of a neutral element of multiplication - the number \(1\in\mathbb C^*\), i.e. such that \(1\cdot x=x\) for all \(x\in\mathbb C^*\).
- For every \(x\in\mathbb C^*\), there there exists an inverse rational number \(x^{-1}\in\mathbb C^*\), such that \(x\cdot x^{-1}=1\).
- For every \(x\in\mathbb C^*\), there there exists an inverse rational number \(x^{-1}\in\mathbb C^*\), such that \(x\cdot x^{-1}=1\).
