  2. Subring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subring

    A special kind of subring of a ring R is the subring generated by a subset X, which is defined as the intersection of all subrings of R containing X. [3] The subring generated by X is also the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of elements of X , including the additive identity ("empty combination") and multiplicative ...

  3. Real closed ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_closed_ring

    For a real closed ring A, the natural homomorphism of A to the product of all its residue fields is an isomorphism onto a subring of this product that is closed under continuous semi-algebraic functions defined over the integers. Conversely, every subring of a product of real closed fields with this property is real closed.

  4. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)

    An intersection of subrings is a subring. Given a subset E of R, the smallest subring of R containing E is the intersection of all subrings of R containing E, and it is called the subring generated by E. For a ring R, the smallest subring of R is called the characteristic subring of R. It can be generated through addition of copies of 1 and −1.

  5. Graded ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_ring

    In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra, a graded ring is a ring such that the underlying additive group is a direct sum of abelian groups such that ⁠ + ⁠.The index set is usually the set of nonnegative integers or the set of integers, but can be any monoid.

  6. Finitely generated module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitely_generated_module

    The left R-module M is finitely generated if there exist a 1, a 2, ..., a n in M such that for any x in M, there exist r 1, r 2, ..., r n in R with x = r 1 a 1 + r 2 a 2 + ... + r n a n. The set {a 1, a 2, ..., a n} is referred to as a generating set of M in this case. A finite generating set need not be a basis, since it need not be linearly ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(ring_theory)

    For example, we can take the subring of complex numbers of the form +, with and integers. [4] The maximal order question can be examined at a local field level. This technique is applied in algebraic number theory and modular representation theory.

  8. Matrix ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_ring

    For example, M n (Z) is a subring of M n (Q). The matrix ring M n (R) is commutative if and only if n = 0, R = 0, or R is commutative and n = 1. In fact, this is true also for the subring of upper triangular matrices. Here is an example showing two upper triangular 2 × 2 matrices that do not commute, assuming 1 ≠ 0 in R:

The centralizer of a subset S of a ring is the subring of the ring consisting of the elements commuting with the elements of S. For example, the centralizer of the ring itself is the centre ...
