WordDefinition
zero divisornoun(algebra, ring theory) A nonzero element a of a ring R for which there exists some nonzero element x ∈ R such that either ax = 0 or xa = 0.
boolean ringnoun(algebra) A ring whose multiplicative operation is idempotent.
simple ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A ring that contains no nontrivial ideals (i.e., no (two-sided) ideals other than the zero ideal and the ring itself).
reduced ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A ring R that has no nonzero nilpotent elements; equivalently, such that, for x ∈ R, x² = 0 implies x = 0.
domainnounA field or sphere of activity, influence or expertise.
total ring of fractionsnoun(algebra) A ring of fractions of a given ring, such that the set of allowed denominators contains all of the non-zero divisors of the given ring.
prime ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) Any nonzero ring R such that for any two (two-sided) ideals P and Q in R, the product PQ = 0 (the zero ideal) if and only if P = 0 or Q = 0.
ordered ringnoun(algebra, order theory, ring theory) A ring, R, equipped with a total order, ≤, such that for arbitrary a, b, c ∈ R, if a ≤ b then a + c ≤ b + c, and if, additionally, 0 ≤ c, then both ca ≤ cb and ac ≤ bc.
local ringnoun(algebra) A commutative ring with a unique maximal ideal, or a noncommutative ring with a unique maximal left ideal or (equivalently) a unique maximal right ideal.
semiringnoun(algebra) An algebraic structure similar to a ring, but without the requirement that each element must have an additive inverse.
near-ringnoun(mathematics) An algebraic structure similar to a ring but satisfying fewer axioms. They arise naturally from functions on groups.
factor ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A quotient ring.
skew fieldnoun(algebra, dated) A ring in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse; division ring
integral domainnoun(algebra, ring theory) Any nonzero commutative ring in which the product of nonzero elements is nonzero.
division algebranoun(algebra) An algebra over a field such that every non-zero element of it has a multiplicative inverse. (It is not required to have a unity element.)
product ringnoun(mathematics, ring theory) A ring that is the direct product of rings.
commutative ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A ring whose multiplicative operation is commutative.
ring of fractionsnoun(algebra) A ring whose elements are fractions whose numerators belong to a given commutative unital ring and whose denominators belong to a multiplicatively closed unital subset D of that given ring. Addition and multiplication of such fractions is defined just as for a field of fractions. A pair of fractions a/b and c/d are deemed equivalent if there is a member x of D such that x(ad-bc)=0.
zeronounThe numeric symbol that represents the cardinal number zero.
valuation ringnoun(algebra) An integral domain D such that for every element x of its field of fractions F, at least one of x or x⁻¹ belongs to D.
