  Unit (ring theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a unit in a (unital) ring R is an invertible element of u, i.e.
In a commutative unital ring R, the group of units U(R) acts on R via multiplication.
For example, in the ring Z of integers, n and −n are associates.

 Dirichlet convolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Dirichlet convolution is a binary operation defined for arithmetic functions; it is of importance in number theory.
With addition and Dirichlet convolution, the set of arithmetic functions forms a commutative ring with multiplicative identity ε, the Dirichlet ring (note that it is not a field because some arithmetic functions do not have Dirichlet inverses).
The units of this ring are the arithmetical functions f with f(1) ≠ 0.

 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.
It is important to realise that at this stage rings of polynomials and rings of numbers were being studied, but it was to be another 40 years before an axiomatic theory of commutative rings was to be developed bringing these theories together.
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.
In 1908 Wedderburn had the important idea of splitting the study of a ring into two parts, one part he called the radical, the part which was left being called semi-simple.

 Dedekind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Gauss died in 1855 and Dirichlet was appointed to fill the vacant chair at Göttingen.
Dedekind and Dirichlet soon became close friends and the relationship was in many ways the making of Dedekind, whose mathematical interests took a new lease of life with the discussions between the two.
Dedekind's study of Dirichlet's work did, in fact, lead to his own study of algebraic number fields, as well as to his introduction of ideals.

We obtain mainly the equivalence between the irreducibility in the analytic ring and in the formal one.
In the same way we prove that the ring of analytic Dirichlet series is integrally closed in the ring of formal Dirichlet series.
Finally we introduce the notion of standard basis in these rings and we give a finitely generated ideal which does not admit standard bases.

This led to Jacobi, and later Dirichlet, corresponding with Kummer on mathematical topics and they soon realised the great potential for the highest level of mathematics that Kummer possessed.

In 1842, with strong support from Jacobi and Dirichlet, he was appointed a full professor at the University of Breslau, now Wroclaw in Poland.

The paper studies the structure of the ring A of arithmetical functions, where the multiplication is defined as the Dirichlet convolution.
It is proven that A itself is not a discrete valuation ring, but a certain extension of it is constructed,this extension being a discrete valuation ring.
Finally, the metric structure of the ring A is examined.

 Introduction
A Dirichlet character is a homomorphism varepsilon:(Z/NZ)^ * -> C^ * of abelian groups.
Dirichlet characters are of interest because they decompose M_k(Gamma_1(N)) into more manageable chunks.
For any ring R, we define the space of modular forms over R to be M_R = M_Z tensor_(Z) R. Thus M_R is a free R-module of rank d with basis the images of f_1,..., f_d in M_Z tensor_(Z) R. The computation of M_R is discussed in Section Base Extension.

 HJM, Vol. 29, No. 3, 2003
If R is a unital ring, then the left multiplications by elements of R obviously form endomorphisms of the additive group of R. In fact they form a group direct summand of the endomorphism ring and if the complement is trivial, then these rings are called E-rings which are well-studied.
Finally, we show that in ZFC there exists an almost-free ring R of minimal uncountable cardinality such that the endomorphism ring of R is isomorphic to the direct sum of the integers and R itself.
Also, A is said to be an EGD ring (resp., EUGD ring) if the inclusion map from A to B satisfies GD (resp., is universally going-down) for each overring B of A. The concept of going-down ring (resp., universall going-down ring) is not equivalent to the concept of EGD ring (resp., EUGD ring).

In the context of ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, the term "prime element" has a specific meaning, and under this meaning, the additive inverse of any prime number is also prime.
For the ring of integers, the set of prime elements equals the set of irreducible elements; it's {...−11, −7, −5, −3, −2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11,...}.
The prime ideals of the ring of integers are the ideals (0), (2), (3), (5), (7), (11),...

In 1855 Gauss died and Dirichlet was appointed to fill the vacant chair at Gottingen.
While working with Dirichlet Dedekind soon became close friends, while also rubbing some of his mathematical interests onto Dedekind.
This led to the unique factorisation of integers into prime powers to be generalized to ideals in other rings.

The formula is deduced from an expansion of the Eisenstein series which is closely related to the Fourier-Jacobi expansion and which has the form of an infinite sum of terms indexex by primitive adelic theta function.
Each term is a product of (1) an explicit monomial of Hecke and Dirichlet L-series for the specified character and weight, and (2) a theta function obtained by applying formal Dirichlet series of operators to the indexed adelic theta function.
The Dirichlet series consists of operators on the graded ring of adelic theta functions and can be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the Eisenstein series by a result of Shintani.

Let F be the vector space of formal linear combinations sum_m a_m D_m of elements in M with real or complex coefficients.
Then F becomes a ring under termwise addition and multiplication defined by bilinearity using the multiplicative rule (4): (sum_m a_m D_m)(sum_n b_n D_n) := sum_{m,n} a_m b_n D_{mn} (5) = sum_n (sum_{dn} a_d b_{n/d}) D_n The units in the ring are just the b = sum_n b_n D_n with b_1
This ring can also be viewed as the space S of sequences a = (a_1, a_2,....) under termwise addition and the "convolution product" (a*b)_n := sum_{dn} a_d b_{n/d} with unit (1, 0, 0,...).

Prerequisites: A basic grounding in algebraic concepts like groups, rings, fields, basic Galois theory, and a basic course in analysis (like 3210).
Studying rational points for instance leads to very delicate questions about number fields: for instance whether the ring ${\bf Z}[\zeta_p]$ is a unique factorisation domain, where $\zeta_p$ is a $p$th root of unity.
The textbook used for the course provides a hands-on experience of studying the basics of algebraic number theory via many examples.
