WordDefinition
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.
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.
division ringnoun(algebra) A ring with 0 ≠ 1, such that every non-zero element a has a multiplicative inverse, meaning an element x with ax = 1.
minimal idealnoun(algebra, ring theory) A nonzero (two-sided) ideal that contains no other nonzero two-sided ideal.
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.
principal ideal ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A commutative ring in which every ideal is a principal ideal.
domainnounA field or sphere of activity, influence or expertise.
idealnounA perfect standard of beauty, intellect etc., or a standard of excellence to aim at.
near-ringnoun(mathematics) An algebraic structure similar to a ring but satisfying fewer axioms. They arise naturally from functions on groups.
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.
simple algebranoun(algebra) An algebra that contains no nontrivial proper (two-sided) ideals and whose multiplication operation is not zero (i.e., there exist a and b such that ab ≠ 0).
semiringnoun(algebra) An algebraic structure similar to a ring, but without the requirement that each element must have an additive inverse.
noetherian ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A ring which is either: (a) a commutative ring in which every ideal is finitely generated, or (b) a noncommutative ring that is both left-Noetherian (every left ideal is finitely generated) and right-Noetherian (every right ideal is finitely generated).
radicalFavoring fundamental change, or change at the root cause of a matter.
boolean ringnoun(algebra) A ring whose multiplicative operation is idempotent.
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.
factor ringnoun(algebra, ring theory) A quotient ring.
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.
maximal idealnoun(algebra, ring theory) An ideal which cannot be made any larger (by adjoining any element to it) without making it improper (i.e., equal to the whole of the containing algebraic structure).
product ringnoun(mathematics, ring theory) A ring that is the direct product of rings.
