  13: Commutative rings and algebras
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.
In the case of geometric algebras, this is the setting for families of subvarieties, including nested and intersecting ones.
Typically one classifies problems as Algebraic Geometry when stated in terms of points, hypersurfaces, divisors, and other geometric objects, and as Commutative Algebra when stated in terms of ideals and coordinate rings, although in practice techniques from both areas are used in tandem.

Commutative algebra comes from several sources: the 19th century theory of equations, number theory, invariant theory and algebraic geometry.
A famous example of such encoding is the translation of an abstract finite simiplicial complex into an ideal represented by the zeroes of square-free monomials in a set of variables corresponding to the vertices of the simplicial complex.
Of course, the existing body of work in commutative algebra is not tailored to suit all new demands.

 Commutative Algebra
The Magma facility for commutative rings allows the user to define any ring, starting from the ring of integers, by repeatedly applying the four basic constructions: transcendental extension, quotient by an ideal, localization, and completion.
Rings derived from a polynomial ring will be considered in this section, while fields, their orders and valuation rings will be presented in the following section.
The fundamental tools on which most machinery for computational (commutative) ring theory is based include factorization of elements in a UFD, the efficient construction of standard bases for ideals and the factorization of ideals.

Abstract: Levy and Klingler have studied which rings can have the structure of all indecomposable modules and their direct sum behaviour described without having to describe the module structure of all indecomposable modules over all finitely generated algebras at the same time.
There is one open case in their theory, and Klingler understands this as a canonical form matrix problem.
