  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.

 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.

 [Ganoksin] Jewelry Making - Determination of Ring Sizes - Theory and Practice of Goldsmithing -
In Germany, ring sizes are described by the diameter of the finger hole or inside circumference; in France and the United States, sizes measured by a number, with higher numbers indicating larger sizes.
Similarly, when a ring size is handed over as a length of string or a mark on a strip of paper, this information must be taken only loosely since those devices have more flexibility than the metal of the final ring.

 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.
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.
Rings associated to group a group G shed light on the structure of G, particular rings of invariants k(V)^G (given a group action on a vector space V), cohomology rings H^*(G,Z), group rings Z[G], and representation rings R(G).

For example, it is hard to say whether field theory, the theory of finite groups and the theory of finite-dimensional Lie algebras should be regarded as general algebra.
The appearance of the theory of models and algebraic systems is associated with the discovery of links between algebra and mathematical logic.
Thus, the concept of a variety of algebras, which crystallized in the theory of universal algebras, plays an important role in modern group and ring theory.

To show that the three classical construction problems are indeed impossible to solve we must use the theories of Groups, Rings and Fields.
While the use of the symbols + and * for the two ring operations are intended to parallel our common definitions of addition and multiplication (and guide our intutions to that effect) we should be careful not to make any assumptions about their properties.

Later, it was realised that commutative noetherian rings are one of the building blocks of modern algebraic geometry, leading to their study both abstractly and in examples.
It turns out that the representation theory of groups such as the general linear group and symmetric group is closely connected with Lie theory, through topics like the representation theory of algebraic groups and Lie algebras.
Typically, the representation theory of such algebras is closely related to the geometry of the prime spectrum of centre of the algebra.

It is fascinating to note that the most exciting theory of fundamental particles at the present time, string theory, has a definite resemblance to Thomson's vortex atoms.
One of the basic entities is the closed string, a little loop, which has fields flowing around it reminiscent of the swirl of ethereal fluid in Thomson's atom.
There are 2D string theories that incorporate the mechanics of a vortex as two dimensions in a loop which admits to a loop cross-section that has a vortex motion.

 Hybrid Ring Duplexer Theory
The Hybrid Ring Diplexer (duplexer) is a strange device compared to the standard Band Pass or Reject type.
In common duplexer types, the pass is either created by the band pass effect of a dual coupling loop cavity or the pseudo pass effect of a single loop cavity in BpBr, or the skirt leading up to the notch in a reject type cavity.
The hybrid ring creates the pass effect from the primary characteristics of a large notch cavity, but you are probably wondering how a notch cavity can create a pass effect.

The specification of a ring is divided in two parts: first the record of constants (+, ×, 1, 0, -) and then the theorems (associativity, commutativity, etc.).

 Lee Lady: A Graduate Course in Algebra
Let a ring R be isomorphic as an R-module to a direct sum of n copies of a left R-module L. Let D be the ring of R-endomorphisms of L. Then L is free as a left D-module with rank n.
Furthermore, the ring of D-endomorphisms of L is isomorphic to R. (It follows, of course, that R is isomorphic to the opposite ring of the ring of n by n matrices with entries in D.)
If a ring R has a minimal left ideal L which is not contained in any proper (two-sided) ideal, then R is a finite direct sum of left ideals isomorphic to L and is a simple ring, i.e.

 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.

The purpose of this webring is to link the home pages of mathematicians and students whose interests include the subject of commutative ring theory, and to do so in such a way that visitors can easily navigate from site to site with minimal time being spent using search engines.
The answer is simple: a webring is a collection of web pages concerning some common interest (such as commutative ring theory), and these pages are all linked to each other via links such as "Next" and "Previous"; you can see an example of this at the very bottom of this page.
The organization that keeps track of the behind-the-scenes details, such as the position on the ring of a page being viewed by a browser of the net, is Webring.

In Quantum Ring Theory Wladimir Guglinski presents a radical new theory concerning the fundamental nature of physics.
By considering the nature of “aether” and its role in physical processes, Guglinski is able to put forth a theory that reconciles Quantum Physics with the Theory of Relativity.
To date, no other physical theory is able to accord for the fundamental intraction between these two fundamental notions of physics.
