In ring theory, a branch of mathematics, a radical of a ring is an ideal of "not-good" elements of the ring. The first example of a radical was the nilradical introduced by Köthe (1930), based on a suggestion of Wedderburn (1908). In the next few years several other radicals were discovered, of which the most important example is the Jacobson ...
For a general ring with unity R, the Jacobson radical J(R) is defined as the ideal of all elements r ∈ R such that rM = 0 whenever M is a simple R-module.That is, = {=}. This is equivalent to the definition in the commutative case for a commutative ring R because the simple modules over a commutative ring are of the form R / for some maximal ideal of R, and the annihilators of R / in R are ...
In other words: "The only element of a Noetherian ring in all powers of J is 0." The original conjecture posed by Jacobson in 1956 [ 1 ] asked about noncommutative one-sided Noetherian rings, however Israel Nathan Herstein produced a counterexample in 1965, [ 2 ] and soon afterwards, Arun Vinayak Jategaonkar produced a different example which ...
Consider the ring of integers.. The radical of the ideal of integer multiples of is (the evens).; The radical of is .; The radical of is .; In general, the radical of is , where is the product of all distinct prime factors of , the largest square-free factor of (see Radical of an integer).
The following equivalent definitions of a left perfect ring R are found in Anderson and Fuller: [2]. Every left R-module has a projective cover.; R/J(R) is semisimple and J(R) is left T-nilpotent (that is, for every infinite sequence of elements of J(R) there is an n such that the product of first n terms are zero), where J(R) is the Jacobson radical of R.
Let R be a ring that is graded by the ordered semigroup of non-negative integers, and let + denote the ideal generated by positively graded elements. Then if M is a graded module over R for which M i = 0 {\displaystyle M_{i}=0} for i sufficiently negative (in particular, if M is finitely generated and R does not contain elements of negative ...
S can be equipped with operations making it a ring such that the inclusion map S → R is a ring homomorphism. For example, the ring of integers is a subring of the field of real numbers and also a subring of the ring of polynomials [] (in both cases, contains 1, which is the multiplicative identity of the larger rings).
A solution in radicals or algebraic solution is an expression of a solution of a polynomial equation that is algebraic, that is, relies only on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to integer powers, and extraction of n th roots (square roots, cube roots, etc.). A well-known example is the quadratic formula
