The integers, rationals, reals and complex numbers are abelian groups under addition, the nonzero rationals, reals and complex numbers and the positive reals are abelian groups under multiplication, the unit circle is a subgroup of the nonzero complex numbers, and the exponential is an isomorphism from (R,+) onto the positive reals and a homomorphism from (C,+) to the nonzero complex numbers.
In the settings of Groups: Standing Notation and Complex Analysis: Standing Notation, let be the complex exponential function, and let be the ray.
Additive groups. Each of , , and , with addition, is an abelian group, with identity and with the inverse of .
Multiplicative groups. Each of , , and , with multiplication, is an abelian group, with identity and with the inverse of .
The circle group. The unit circle is a subgroup of the group of (ii).
The exponential. The function , , is an isomorphism from the additive group of (i) onto the multiplicative group of (ii), and the function , , is a homomorphism from the additive group of (i) to the multiplicative group of (ii):
