 Ideal (ring theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
An ideal can be used to construct a factor ring in a similar way as a normal subgroup in group theory can be used to construct a factor group.
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.

 Ring Theory
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.
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.

 Ring theory - InfoSearchPoint.com
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.
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.

 13: Commutative rings and algebras
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.
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.
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.
The Noetherian property is central in ring theory and in areas that make heavy use of rings, such as algebraic geometry.
If R is a Noetherian and I is a two-sided ideal, then the factor ring R/I is also Noetherian.

 Krull
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.
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.
He then wrote the remarkable treatise Ideal Theory which remains a beautiful introduction to ring theory but is simply a theory built from the results that Krull had himself proved.

 The Extension and Contraction of an Ideal
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.
Map an ideal h into another ring s, and the extension is the linear combinations of all the elements of h mapped into s.
If the image of a commutative ring r lies in the center of s, the contraction of a prime/semiprime ideal is same.

 Ring_Relations
     In his Carus monograph, Noncommutative Rings, Herstein shows how general versions of some commutativity theorems can be obtained using the structure theory for rings.
The set of consequences of a set of identities has the same arithmetic closure properties of an ideal – but, in addition, it is closed under the operation of substitution of polynomials for its variables.
These assert conditions under which a ring is commutative.

 Prime Ideal Correspondence
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.

 OUOSU ring theory seminar speakers for 2004-5
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.
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.
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.
