Explanation of $\left < \cdot \right > $ notation

Question

I am trying to understand the Boneh-Goh-Nissim Cryptosystem and am getting confused.

I have found $n=qr$ for $q$ and $r$ prime.

I have found a supersingular elliptic curve $E\backslash\mathbb{F}_p$ for $p$ prime with point $P\in E\left(\mathbb{F}_p\right)$ of order $n$

I am then supposed to let $\mathbb{G}=\left<P\right>$

Can someone explain the $\left < \cdot \right > $ notation in this context to me please

Answer 1

The subgroup generated by the point $P$.
