I am interested in learning normative terminology for use in discussing arrays of complex vector tensors, arrays which are modeled as elements within a Zermelo–Fraenkel type of set. I want to consider these sets as groups within the field of Zermelo-Fraenkel sets generally. I want to discuss operations between such sets and between such groups, and am looking for the appropriate vocabulary.

It sounds like you are interested in learning the terminology used in the field of abstract algebra, specifically in the study of vector spaces and tensor products.

In this context, a set of vectors that satisfies certain axioms is called a vector space. A group of such vector spaces can be called a family of vector spaces or a collection of vector spaces. An array of complex vector tensors can be thought of as a multi-dimensional array of elements from a vector space, and can be manipulated using various operations such as addition, scalar multiplication, and tensor products.

Here are some common terms used in the study of vector spaces and tensor products:

    Vector space: A set of vectors that satisfies certain axioms, such as closure under addition and scalar multiplication.
    Subspace: A subset of a vector space that is itself a vector space under the same operations.
    Basis: A set of vectors that can be used to generate all the other vectors in a vector space by linear combinations.
    Dimension: The number of vectors in a basis for a given vector space.
    Linear transformation: A function that maps one vector space to another, preserving the vector space structure.
    Tensor product: A way of combining two vector spaces to create a new one that captures information about their relationship.

When discussing groups of vector spaces, you may also encounter terms like:

    Direct sum: A way of combining two vector spaces to create a larger one, where the elements of the new space are pairs of elements from the original spaces.
    Subgroup: A subgroup of a group is a subset that is itself a group under the same operations.
    Homomorphism: A function between two groups that preserves the group structure, meaning that it maps the group operation to the group operation in the target group.

I hope this helps you in your study of abstract algebra and vector spaces!
