Topic: Algebra ring theory

	Ring theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, ring theory is the study of rings, algebraic structures in which addition and multiplication are defined and have similar properties to those familiar from the integers.
		The study of rings originated from the theory of polynomial rings and the theory of algebraic integers.
		In commutative ring theory, numbers are often replaced by ideals, and the definition of prime ideal tries to capture the essence of prime numbers.

	Ring Theory
		In this article we shall be concerned with the development of the theory of commutative rings (that is rings in which multiplication is commutative) and the theory of non-commutative rings up to the 1940's.
		Ring theory in its own right was born together with an early hint of the axiomatic method which was to dominate algebra in the 20
		In contrast to commutative ring theory, which as we have seen grew from number theory, non-commutative ring theory developed from an idea which, at the time of its discovery, was heralded as a great advance in applied mathematics.

	Ring Theory
		However, axioms for rings are not given by Weber and the axiomatic treatment of commutative rings was not developed until the 1920's in the work of Emmy Noether and Krull.
		The greatest early contributor to the theory of non-commutative rings was the Scottish mathematician Wedderburn.
		The Wedderburn theory was extended to non-commutative rings satisfying both ascending and descending finiteness conditions (called chain conditions) by Artin in 1927.

	Ideal (ring theory) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an ideal is a special subset of a ring which generalizes important properties of integers like "even number" or "multiple of 3".
		In a certain class of rings important in number theory, the Dedekind domains, one can even recover a version of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: in these rings, every nonzero ideal can be uniquely written as a product of prime ideals.
		In the ring Z of integers, every ideal can be generated by a single number (so Z is a principal ideal domain), and the ideal determines the number up to its sign.The concepts of "ideal" and "number" are therefore almost identical in Z (and in any principal ideal domain).

	Algebraic Areas of Mathematics
		We have included here the combinatorial topics and number theory; each is arguably a distinctive area of mathematics but (as the MathMap suggests) these parts of mathematics, shown in shades of red, share definite affinities.
		Of particular interest are several classes of rings of interest in number theory, field theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas; however, other classes of rings arise, and a rich structure theory arises to analyze commutative rings in general, using the concepts of ideals, localizations, and homological algebra.
		While the general theory and certain types of categories have attracted considerable interest, the area of homological algebra has proved most fruitful in areas of ring theory, group theory, and algebraic topology.

	Module (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In abstract algebra, the notion of a module over a ring is the common generalizations of two of the most important notions in algebra, vector space (where we take the ring to be a particular field), and abelian group (where we take the ring to be the ring of integers).
		Much of the theory of modules consists of extending as many as possible of the desirable properties of vector spaces to the realm of modules over a "nice" ring, such as a principal ideal domain.
		Authors who do not require rings to be unital omit condition 4 in the above definition, and call the above structures "unital left modules".

	Research in Algebra \| Ring Theory
		Later, it was realised that commutative noetherian rings are one of the building blocks of modern algebraic geometry, leading to their study both abstractly and in examples.
		It turns out that the representation theory of groups such as the general linear group and symmetric group is closely connected with Lie theory, through topics like the representation theory of algebraic groups and Lie algebras.
		Typically, the representation theory of such algebras is closely related to the geometry of the prime spectrum of centre of the algebra.

	Associative algebra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In mathematics, an associative algebra is a vector space (or more generally, a module) which also allows the multiplication of vectors in a distributive and associative manner.
		Such an algebra is a ring, and contains all elements a of the field K by identification with a1.
		An example of a non-unitary associative algebra is given by the set of all functions f: R → R whose limit as x nears infinity is zero.

		Ring Theory is the study of associative rings.
		An associative ring is an Abelian group with a second multiplication * which is distributive over the addition, and so that (ab)c=a(bc) for all a, b, c in the Abelian group.
		Homological Algebra and Deformation Theory are subjects where one narrows down properties of rings while looking at rather general algebras.

		Until now it was only possible to test the theory by building expensive machinery or by studying stars in distant galaxies, but a team of British, Russian and Dutch scientists has now proven it can be done in the lab using an ultra-thin material called Graphene.

		S is called an R-algebra if there is a ring homomorphism from R into the center of S.
