  2. Commutative ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_ring

    A broad range examples of graded rings arises in this way. For example, the Lazard ring is the ring of cobordism classes of complex manifolds. A graded-commutative ring with respect to a grading by Z/2 (as opposed to Z) is called a superalgebra. A related notion is an almost commutative ring, which means that R is filtered in such a way that ...

  3. Initial and terminal objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_and_terminal_objects

    In Ring, the category of rings with unity and unity-preserving morphisms, the ring of integers Z is an initial object. The zero ring consisting only of a single element 0 = 1 is a terminal object. In Rig, the category of rigs with unity and unity-preserving morphisms, the rig of natural numbers N is an initial object.

  4. Graded-commutative ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded-commutative_ring

    For example, an exterior algebra is generally not a commutative ring but is a graded-commutative ring. A cup product on cohomology satisfies the skew-commutative relation; hence, a cohomology ring is graded-commutative. In fact, many examples of graded-commutative rings come from algebraic topology and homological algebra.

  5. Ring theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_theory

    The concept of the Jacobson radical of a ring; that is, the intersection of all right (left) annihilators of simple right (left) modules over a ring, is one example. The fact that the Jacobson radical can be viewed as the intersection of all maximal right (left) ideals in the ring, shows how the internal structure of the ring is reflected by ...

  6. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, rings are algebraic structures that generalize fields: multiplication need not be commutative and multiplicative inverses need not exist. Informally, a ring is a set equipped with two binary operations satisfying properties analogous to those of addition and multiplication of integers.

  7. Brauer group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brauer_group

    Equivalently, every finite division ring is commutative. K is the function field of an algebraic curve over an algebraically closed field (Tsen's theorem). [3] More generally, the Brauer group vanishes for any C 1 field. K is an algebraic extension of Q containing all roots of unity. [2] The Brauer group Br R of the real numbers is the cyclic ...

  8. Commutative algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_algebra

    Prominent examples of commutative rings include polynomial rings; rings of algebraic integers, including the ordinary integers; and p-adic integers. [ 1 ] Commutative algebra is the main technical tool of algebraic geometry , and many results and concepts of commutative algebra are strongly related with geometrical concepts.

  9. Simplicial commutative ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicial_commutative_ring

    Let A be a simplicial commutative ring. Then the ring structure of A gives = the structure of a graded-commutative graded ring as follows.. By the Dold–Kan correspondence, is the homology of the chain complex corresponding to A; in particular, it is a graded abelian group.
