  2. Distributive property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_property

    In mathematics, the distributive property of binary operations is a generalization of the distributive law, which asserts that the equality is always true in elementary algebra. For example, in elementary arithmetic, one has Therefore, one would say that multiplication distributes over addition. This basic property of numbers is part of the ...

  3. Distributive lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_lattice

    The simplest non-distributive lattices are M 3, the "diamond lattice", and N 5, the "pentagon lattice". A lattice is distributive if and only if none of its sublattices is isomorphic to M 3 or N 5; a sublattice is a subset that is closed under the meet and join operations of the original lattice. Note that this is not the same as being a subset ...

  4. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Informally, a ring is a set equipped with two binary operations satisfying properties analogous to those of addition and multiplication of integers. Ring elements may be numbers such as integers or complex numbers, but they may also be non-numerical objects such as polynomials, square matrices, functions, and power series.

  5. Lattice (order) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(order)

    e. A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra. It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).

  6. Category of rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_rings

    The category Ring is a concrete category meaning that the objects are sets with additional structure (addition and multiplication) and the morphisms are functions that preserve this structure. There is a natural forgetful functor. U : Ring → Set. for the category of rings to the category of sets which sends each ring to its underlying set ...

  7. Ideal lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_lattice

    In general terms, ideal lattices are lattices corresponding to ideals in rings of the form [] / for some irreducible polynomial of degree . [1] All of the definitions of ideal lattices from prior work are instances of the following general notion: let be a ring whose additive group is isomorphic to (i.e., it is a free -module of rank), and let be an additive isomorphism mapping to some lattice ...

  8. Spectral space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_space

    An arbitrary intersection of compact and open subsets of X (hence of elements from K. ∘ {\displaystyle \circ } (X)) is again spectral. X is T 0 by definition, but in general not T 1. [1] In fact a spectral space is T 1 if and only if it is Hausdorff (or T 2) if and only if it is a boolean space if and only if K. ∘ {\displaystyle \circ }

  9. Polynomial ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_ring

    The skew-polynomial ring is defined similarly for a ring R and a ring endomorphism f of R, by extending the multiplication from the relation X⋅r = f(r)⋅X to produce an associative multiplication that distributes over the standard addition.
