	Ideal (ring theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an ideal is a special subset of a ring.
		The map p from R to R/I defined by p(a) = a + I is a surjective ring homomorphism (or ring epimorphism) whose kernel is the original ideal I.
		The sum and the intersection of ideals is again an ideal; with these two operations as join and meet, the set of all ideals of a given ring forms a lattice.

	Ring theory: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Ring theory
		In mathematics, Ring theory is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of rings, algebraic structures in which addition and multiplication are defined and have similar properties to those familiar from the integers.
		The theory of commutative rings resembles the theory of numbers in several respects, and various definitions for commutative rings are designed to recover properties known from the 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.

		In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an ideal of a ring R is a subset I of R which is closed under R-linear combinations, in a sense made precise below.
		The term "ideal" comes from the notion of ideal number: ideals were seen as a generalization of the concept of number.
		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.

	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.
		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.
		The greatest early contributor to the theory of non-commutative rings was the Scottish mathematician Wedderburn.

	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
		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.

	PlanetMath: ideal
		When the failure of unique factorization in number fields was first noticed, one of the solutions was to work with so-called ``ideal numbers'' in which unique factorization did hold.
		These ``ideal numbers'' were in fact ideals, and in Dedekind domains, unique factorization of ideals does indeed hold.

		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 1921, Emmy Noether gave the first axiomatic foundation of the theory of commutative rings in her monumental paper Ideal Theory in Rings.

	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.
		Ideals may be added, multiplied, or intersected, giving a sort of combinatorial structure to the set of ideals in a ring; in particular, the prime ideals play a special role among the set of ideals in this way.
		Conversely, the study of a ring is often focused by the examination of related fields, such as the quotients by each of the maximal ideals, or, in the case of integral domains, by the quotient field.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Noetherian ring
		In abstract algebra, a Noetherian ring is a ring that satisfies the ascending chain condition on ideals.
		Rings of polynomials over fields have many special properties; properties that follow from the fact that polynomial rings are not, in some sense, "too large".
		The Noetherian property is central in ring theory and in areas that make heavy use of rings, such as algebraic geometry.

	Krull (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ring theory results from this thesis have recently been found important in the area of coding theory.
		In 1928 he defined the Krull dimension of a commutative Noetherian ring and brought ring theory into in new setting in which he was able to show that the principal ideal theorem held.
		Another major topic in ring theory is the study of local rings, that is rings having a unique maximal ideal, and they are used in the study of local properties of algebraic varieties.

	The Extension and Contraction of an Ideal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If f is a ring homomorphism from r into s, the extension of an ideal in r is the ideal generated by its image in s, and the contraction of an ideal in s is its preimage in r, which is already an ideal.
		If the image of a commutative ring r lies in the center of s, the contraction of a prime/semiprime ideal is same.
		Map an ideal h into another ring s, and the extension is the linear combinations of all the elements of h mapped into s.

		Galois theory is a way to "map" extensions of fields to groups and their subgroups in such a way that most of the interesting details about the extension are reflected in details about the groups, and vice versa.
		A proper ideal of R is an ideal I that is not equal to R, i.
		On the other hand, class field theory provides a complete answer of a different kind which specifies a 1-to-1 correspondence between abelian extensions of a number field and certain generalized ideal class groups which are defined entirely from the arithmetic properties of the base field.

		This is similar to the ideal correspondence theorem, but now we are dealing with prime ideals.
		Therefore an ideal is prime iff its image or preimage is prime.
		The ideal p, generated by y, is no longer prime, since it contains x×x, and x is not in p.

	Lee Lady: Finite Rank Torsion Free Modules over Dedekind Domains (a book)
		Kaplansky, in his "little red book", asserted that abelian group theory is really the study of modules over principal ideal domains, and since then most abelian group theorists tend to feel more at home with commutative ring theory than with group theory in general.
		The theory of finite rank torsion free abelian groups is full of results that depend on countability, or on having characteristic zero, or working over a ring whose quotient field is a perfect field, as well as proofs using quite specialized results from number theory.
		Unlike the theory of torsion groups, the theory of finite rank torsion free modules is becoming something that fits in fairly well with the mainstream of commutative ring theory.

		This leads to what has come to be known in commutative ring theory as a free resolution of the ideal $I=(f_1,\dots,f_m)$ over the polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,\dots,x_n]$.
		In theory, all of the information about a given resolution is present in the first step; the challenge lies in knowing how to extract it.
		Huneke and I introduced {\it AB rings\/}, which are rings whose modules satisfy the following strong form of a conjecture of Auslander: if $\Ext^i_R(M,N)=0$ for all $i\gg 0$, then they vanish for all $i$ greater than some fixed integer $n$ depending on the ring $R$.

	OUOSU ring theory seminar speakers for 2004-5
		November 5, 2004: Warrem McGovern, Bowling Green StateUniversity, Rings of quotients of C(X) ABSTRACT: Q(X) and q(X) denote the maximal and classical rings of quotients of C(X) (resp.) It is known that, since C(X) is a semiprime ring, Q(X) is always von-Neumann regular.
		Inspired by a classic treatment of Ore [1932], a consideration of the arithmetic of such a ring \(R \) on an element-by-element basis (rather than by an ideal-theoretic analysis) leads to a very nice description of the internal structure of the indecomposables.
		The work is not complete: there is a detailed analysis of the structure of the endomorphism rings of the indecomposables underway; and some general questions about the nature of localizations intermediate between the first Weyl algebra and the Weyl division algebra.
