  Spectrum of a ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra and algebraic geometry, the spectrum of a commutative ring R, denoted by Spec(R), is defined to be the set of all proper prime ideals of R.
The spectrum of R therefore consists of the points of A together with elements for all subvarieties of A.
By studying spectra of polynomial rings instead of algebraic sets with Zariski topology, one can generalize the concepts of algebraic geometry to non-algebraically closed fields and beyond, eventually arriving at the language of schemes.

The power spectrum is the distribution of the energy of a function in the frequency domain, which is actually the same as the magnitude of the frequency spectrum.
The spectrum of a matrix is the spectrum of an operator where the matrix is considered as operator.
The meanings of spectrum in some other disciplines, including pharmacology, politics, and psychology evolved by analogy with the meanings in the physical sciences: just as dispersed colored light ranged from one end of the rainbow to the other, so also other things that range from one extreme to another were called spectra.

 Localization of a ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given a ring R and a subset S, one wants to construct some ring R* and ring homomorphism from R to R*, such that the image of S consists of units (invertible elements) in R*.
The term localization originates in algebraic geometry: if R is a ring of functions defined on some geometric object (algebraic variety) V, and one wants to study this variety "locally" near a point p, then one considers the set S of all functions which are non-zero at p and localizes R with respect to S.
In the theory of the spectrum of a ring, these localizations are used to identify basic open sets in Spec(R).

In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, a commutative ring is a ring in which the multiplication operation obeys the commutative law.
In mathematics, a locally ringed space (or local ringed space) is, intuitively speaking, a space together with, for each of its open sets, a commutative ring the elements of which are thought of as functions defined on that open set.
In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an ideal is a special subset of a ring which generalizes important properties of integers.

In abstract algebra and algebraic geometry, the spectrum of a commutative ring R, denoted by Spec(R), is defined to be the set of all prime ideals of R.
Every ring homomorphism f : R → S induces a continuous map Spec(f) : Spec(S) → Spec(R) (since the preimage of any primeideal in S is a prime ideal in R).
The spectrum of R therefore consists of the points of A together with elements for all subvarieties of A.The points of A are closed in the spectrum, while the elements corresponding to subvarieties have a closure consisting ofall their points and subvarieties.

The structure space of a biregular ring (see Regular ring (in the sense of von Neumann)) is locally compact and totally disconnected.
It is used to represent a biregular ring in the form of a ring of continuous functions with compact supports.

 Spectra of Rings
The spectrum of a ring is always compact, thus cannot be isomorphic to Euclidean n-space.
Thus in fact every proper ideal of the ring R of continuous functions on a compact interval has a common zero, hence the ideal is contained in the maximal ideal corresponding to that point, and by maximality must equal it.
Indeed the definition of dimension of a spectrum is (one less than) the length of a strictly nested chain of prime ideals, such as (0), (x), (x,y), in K[x,y], where K is a field.

Of course, if the ring is the complex numbers, we can apply the highly succesful theories of complex analysis and complex manifolds to address the problems; many powerful tools are available; de Rham cohomology, singular homology, Hodge theory, spectral sequences and many others.
In particular, a scheme is a topological space with an associated sheaf, the structure sheaf, which defines which functions of sheaves are considered morphisms in the category of schemes.
If the extra structure also includes an embedding of the ring of integers of a totally real number field into the endomorphism ring of the abelian variety, one obtains the Hilbert moduli space.

As the table indicates, algebraic geometry is motivated by the desire to understand the geometry of the spectrum of rings of polynomials.
Essentially, a regular function on the spectrum of a ring will, as for varieties, be a function on the spectrum which is locally given by the quotient of two elements of the ring.
In fact, these sheaves have the special property (as I vaguely indicated above) that the stalk over each point is a local ring (and hence something that we may interpret as a ring of coordinate functions regarded at a given point).

 Waveshaping
equals one, this just amounts to ring modulating the sinusoid by a sinusoid of the same frequency, whose result we described in the previous section: the output is a DC (zero-frequency) sinusoid plus a sinusoid at twice the original frequency.
In contrast with ring modulation, which is a linear function of its input signal, waveshaping is nonlinear.
DJ85], and from there you can go on to build any desired static spectrum (Example E05.chebychev.pd demonstrates this.) Generating families of spectra by waveshaping a sinusoid of variable amplitude turns out to be trickier, although several interesting special cases have been found, some of which are developed in detail in Chapter 6.

On the K-theory spectrum of a ring of algebraic integers, by W. Dwyer and S. Mitchell
An explicit recipe for using classical invariants of R to construct a candidate C for the algebraic K-theory spectrum of R. If the Lichtenbaum/Quillen conjecture is true, then C essentially is the algebraic K-theory spectrum.
The spectrum C is constructed from the arithmetic of R in a way which extends Quillen's construction of FPsi(q) from the Galois theory of a finite field F(q).
