  Group ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the group ring is an algebraic construction that associates to a group G and a commutative ring with unity R an R-algebra R[G] (or sometimes just RG) such that the multiplication in R[G] is induced by the multiplication in G.
When G is a finite abelian group, the group ring is commutative, and its structure easy to express in terms of roots of unity.
An example of a group ring of an infinite group is the ring of Laurent polynomials: this is exactly the group ring of the infinite cyclic group Z.

If a subset S of a ring (R,+,*) together with the operations + and * restricted on S is itself a ring, and the identity element 1 of R is contained in S, then S is called a subring of (R,+,*).
The centre of a ring R is the set of elements of R that commute with every element of R; that is, c lies in the centre if cr=rc for every r in R.

Another object is to provide a group ring in which the ring members are simply made of a flat material, adaptable to be pierced by arrows, and which can be readily secured to a side of a bale of hay, so that the target itself does not require any padding construction upon its rear.
The inner ring 12 is provided with a pair of rearwardly extending pins 18, extending rearwardly from its rear side 19, and which are used for piercing into the bale of hay, in order to support the inner ring therefrom.
The outer ring, with its hooks 15 is, of course, placed against the bale of hay in only one way, whereas the inner ring can be selectively rotated in any direction, so that any one of the numerals upon the inner ring can be aligned with the numerals of the outer ring.
