Lecture 4: Integral Domain and Subrings Dr Ring Theory Oct. 10th, 2016 Lecture 4: Integral Domain and Subrings Dr. Ruma Kareem K. Ajeena Math. Dept., Class: 3 Definition 1.1 (Integral Domain). An integral domain is a commutative ring with identity which does not have divisors of zero. Remark 1.2 The cancellation law for multiplication is satisfied in any integral domain. 1.0.1 Subrings Definition 1.3 (Subring). Let (R; +; ·) be a ring and S ⊆ R be a nonempty subset of R. If the triple (S; +; ·) is itself a ring, then (S; +; ·) is said to be a subring of (R; +; ·). Here, one needs to apply the definition of a ring to show that the triple (S; +; ·) is a ring. But both the distributive and associative laws hold automatically in S as a consequence of their validity in R. Since these laws are inherited from R, there is no need to satisfy them in the definition of a subring. So, we can give alternative definition of a subring as follows: 1. S is a nonempty subset of R; 2. (S; +) is a subgroup of (R; +); 3. S is closed under multiplication. Furthermore, the definition of a subring can be improved as follows: Definition 1.4 Let (R; +; ·) be a ring and Φ =6 S ⊆ R. Then the triple (S; +; ·) is a subring of (R; +; ·) iff 1. a − b 2 S, where a; b 2 S (closed under differences), 2. a · b 2 S, where a; b 2 S (closed under multiplication). Example 1.5 Every ring (R; +; ·) has two trivial subrings, if 0 is a zero element in a ring (R; +; ·), then both (f0g; +; ·) and (R; +; ·) are subrings of (R; +; ·). Example 1.6 In the ring of integers (Z; +; ·), the triple (Ze; +; ·) is a subring, while (Z0; +; ·) is not. In particular, we can deduce that in a ring with identity, a subring does not need to contain the identity element. Example 1.7 Let (Z6; +6; ·6), the ring of integers modulo 6. If S = f0; 2; 4g, then (S6; +6; ·6) which has operation tables are given as follows: (S6; +6; ·6) is a subring of (Z6; +6; ·6). p Example 1.8 Let S = fa + b 3 : a; b 2 Zg. Then (S; +; ·) is a subring of (R; +; ·). For a; b; c; d 2 Z then p p p (a + b 3) − (c + d 3) = (a − c) + (b − d) 3 2 S; p p p (a + b 3) · (c + d 3) = (ac + 3bd) + (bc − ad) 3 2 S: This means that the set S is closed under both differences and products 1-1 1-2 Lecture 2: Ring Theory Table 1.1: +6 0 2 4 0 0 2 4 2 2 4 0 4 4 0 2 Table 1.2: ·6 0 2 4 0 0 0 0 2 0 4 2 4 0 2 4 Remark 1.9 One can point out to the following situations: 1. When a ring has an identity, this need not be true of its subrings. 2. Some subring has multiplicative identity, but the entire ring does not. 3. Both the ring and one of its subrings have identity elements which are distinct. The identity for the subring must be a divisor of zero in the parent ring in each of these cases. To justify that, let 10 is the identity element of the subring (S; +; ·), we assume 10 is not identity for the entire ring (R; +; ·). So, there exists an element a 2 R for which a · 10 =6 a. It is clear that (a · 10) · 10 = a · (10 · 10) = a · 10 or (a · 10 − a) · 10 = 0: Since neither a · 10 − a nor 10 is zero, the ring (r; +; ·) has zero divisors, so, 10 is a zero divisor of (R; +; ·). Example 1.10 The possibility (3) can be illustrated as follows. Remember the system (R × R; +; ·) as given in Example (??), this system is a ring. The triple (R × 0; +; ·) forms a subring with identity element (1,0), in this case, the element (1,0) differs from the identity for the parent ring which is (1,1). Definition 1.11 Let (R; +; ·) be an arbitrary ring. If there exists a positive integer n such that na for all a 2 R, then the least positive integer with this property is called the characteristic of the ring. If no such positive integer exists (that is, na = 0 for all a 2 R implies n = 0), then we say (R; +; ·) has characteristic zero. Example 1.12 The rings of integers, rational numbers and real numbers are examples of systems having characteristic zero. Theorem 1.13 Let (R; +; ·) be a ring with identity. Then (R; +; ·) has characteristic n > 0 iff n is the least positive integer for which n1 = 0. Lecture 2: Ring Theory 1-3 Proof ) If the ring (R; +; ·) is of characteristic n > 0, it follows trivially that (from Definition (1.11)) n1 = 0. If m1 = 0, where 0 < m < n, then ma = m(1 · a) = (m1) · a = 0 · a = 0; 8a 2 R: This means that the characteristic of (R; +; ·) is less than n (that is , m). This contradicts our hypothesis, so n is least positive integer for which n1 = 0. The converse (() can be established in much the same way. (Prove that as a H.W.). Corollary 1.14 In an integral domain, all the nonzero elements have the same additive order, which is the characteristic of the domain. Proof. Suppose the integral domain (R; +; ·) has positive characteristic n. From definition of , any a 2 R; a =6 0 will then possess a finite additive order m, with m ≤ n. But 0 = ma = (m1) · a, this means that m1 = 0, since (R; +; ·) is free of zero divisors. We can conclude n ≤ m (from Thm (1.13) n is least positive integer). Hence m = n and every nonzero element of R has additive order n..

  • Introduction to the P-Adic Space
    Introduction to the p-adic Space Joel P. Abraham October 25, 2017 1 Introduction From a young age, students learn fundamental operations with the real numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. We intuitively understand that distance under the reals as the absolute value function, even though we never have had a fundamental introduction to set theory or number theory. As such, I found this topic to be extremely captivating, since it almost entirely reverses the intuitive notion of distance in the reals. Such a small modification to the definition of distance gives rise to a completely different set of numbers under which the typical axioms are false. Furthermore, this is particularly interesting since the p-adic system commonly appears in natural phenomena. Due to the versatility of this metric space, and its interesting uniqueness, I find the p-adic space a truly fascinating development in algebraic number theory, and thus chose to explore it further. 2 The p-adic Metric Space 2.1 p-adic Norm Definition 2.1. A metric space is a set with a distance function or metric, d(p, q) defined over the elements of the set and mapping them to a real number, satisfying: arXiv:1710.08835v1 [math.HO] 22 Oct 2017 (a) d(p, q) > 0 if p = q 6 (b) d(p,p)=0 (c) d(p, q)= d(q,p) (d) d(p, q) d(p, r)+ d(r, q) ≤ The real numbers clearly form a metric space with the absolute value function as the norm such that for p, q R ∈ d(p, q)= p q .

  • Discriminants and the Monoid of Quadratic Rings
    DISCRIMINANTS AND THE MONOID OF QUADRATIC RINGS JOHN VOIGHT Abstract. We consider the natural monoid structure on the set of quadratic rings over an arbitrary base scheme and characterize this monoid in terms of discriminants. Quadratic field extensions K of Q are characterized by their discriminants. Indeed, there is a bijection 8Separable quadratic9 < = ∼ × ×2 algebras over Q −! Q =Q : up to isomorphism ; p 2 ×2 Q[ d] = Q[x]=(x − d) 7! dQ wherep a separable quadratic algebra over Q is either a quadratic field extension or the algebra Q[ 1] ' Q × Q of discriminant 1. In particular, the set of isomorphism classes of separable quadratic extensions of Q can be given the structure of an elementary abelian 2-group, with identity element the class of Q × Q: we have simply p p p Q[ d1] ∗ Q[ d2] = Q[ d1d2] p × ×2 up to isomorphism. If d1; d2; dp1d2 2pQ n Q then Q( d1d2) sits as the third quadratic subfield of the compositum Q( d1; d2): p p Q( d1; d2) p p p Q( d1) Q( d1d2) Q( d2) Q p Indeed, ifpσ1 isp the nontrivial elementp of Gal(Q( d1)=Q), then therep is a unique extension of σ1 to Q( d1; d2) leaving Q( d2) fixed, similarly with σ2, and Q( d1d2) is the fixed field of the composition σ1σ2 = σ2σ1. This characterization of quadratic extensions works over any base field F with char F 6= 2 and is summarized concisely in the Kummer theory isomorphism H1(Gal(F =F ); {±1g) = Hom(Gal(F =F ); {±1g) ' F ×=F ×2: On the other hand, over a field F with char F = 2, all separable quadratic extensions have trivial discriminant and instead they are classified by the (additive) Artin-Schreier group F=}(F ) where }(F ) = fr + r2 : r 2 F g Date: January 17, 2021.

  • Algebraic Number Theory
    Algebraic Number Theory William B. Hart Warwick Mathematics Institute Abstract. We give a short introduction to algebraic number theory. Algebraic number theory is the study of extension fields Q(α1; α2; : : : ; αn) of the rational numbers, known as algebraic number fields (sometimes number fields for short), in which each of the adjoined complex numbers αi is algebraic, i.e. the root of a polynomial with rational coefficients. Throughout this set of notes we use the notation Z[α1; α2; : : : ; αn] to denote the ring generated by the values αi. It is the smallest ring containing the integers Z and each of the αi. It can be described as the ring of all polynomial expressions in the αi with integer coefficients, i.e. the ring of all expressions built up from elements of Z and the complex numbers αi by finitely many applications of the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication. The notation Q(α1; α2; : : : ; αn) denotes the field of all quotients of elements of Z[α1; α2; : : : ; αn] with nonzero denominator, i.e. the field of rational functions in the αi, with rational coefficients. It is the smallest field containing the rational numbers Q and all of the αi. It can be thought of as the field of all expressions built up from elements of Z and the numbers αi by finitely many applications of the arithmetic operations of addition, multiplication and division (excepting of course, divide by zero). 1 Algebraic numbers and integers A number α 2 C is called algebraic if it is the root of a monic polynomial n n−1 n−2 f(x) = x + an−1x + an−2x + ::: + a1x + a0 = 0 with rational coefficients ai.

  • Ring (Mathematics) 1 Ring (Mathematics)
    Ring (mathematics) 1 Ring (mathematics) In mathematics, a ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with two binary operations usually called addition and multiplication, where the set is an abelian group under addition (called the additive group of the ring) and a monoid under multiplication such that multiplication distributes over addition.a[›] In other words the ring axioms require that addition is commutative, addition and multiplication are associative, multiplication distributes over addition, each element in the set has an additive inverse, and there exists an additive identity. One of the most common examples of a ring is the set of integers endowed with its natural operations of addition and multiplication. Certain variations of the definition of a ring are sometimes employed, and these are outlined later in the article. Polynomials, represented here by curves, form a ring under addition The branch of mathematics that studies rings is known and multiplication. as ring theory. Ring theorists study properties common to both familiar mathematical structures such as integers and polynomials, and to the many less well-known mathematical structures that also satisfy the axioms of ring theory. The ubiquity of rings makes them a central organizing principle of contemporary mathematics.[1] Ring theory may be used to understand fundamental physical laws, such as those underlying special relativity and symmetry phenomena in molecular chemistry. The concept of a ring first arose from attempts to prove Fermat's last theorem, starting with Richard Dedekind in the 1880s. After contributions from other fields, mainly number theory, the ring notion was generalized and firmly established during the 1920s by Emmy Noether and Wolfgang Krull.[2] Modern ring theory—a very active mathematical discipline—studies rings in their own right.

    PUISEUX MONOIDS AND TRANSFER HOMOMORPHISMS FELIX GOTTI Abstract. There are several families of atomic monoids whose arithmetical invari- ants have received a great deal of attention during the last two decades. The factoriza- tion theory of finitely generated monoids, strongly primary monoids, Krull monoids, and C-monoids are among the most systematically studied. Puiseux monoids, which are additive submonoids of Q≥0 consisting of nonnegative rational numbers, have only been studied recently. In this paper, we provide evidence that this family com- prises plenty of monoids with a basically unexplored atomic structure. We do this by showing that the arithmetical invariants of the well-studied atomic monoids men- tioned earlier cannot be transferred to most Puiseux monoids via homomorphisms that preserve atomic configurations, i.e., transfer homomorphisms. Specifically, we show that transfer homomorphisms from a non-finitely generated atomic Puiseux monoid to a finitely generated monoid do not exist. We also find a large family of Puiseux monoids that fail to be strongly primary. In addition, we prove that the only nontrivial Puiseux monoid that accepts a transfer homomorphism to a Krull monoid is N0. Finally, we classify the Puiseux monoids that happen to be C-monoids. 1. Introduction The study of the phenomenon of non-unique factorizations in the ring of integers OK of an algebraic number field K was initiated by L. Carlitz in the 1950’s, and it was later carried out on more general integral domains. As a result, many techniques to measure the non-uniqueness of factorizations in several families of integral domains were sys- tematically developed during the second half of the last century (see [2] and references therein).

  • A Brief History of Ring Theory
    A Brief History of Ring Theory by Kristen Pollock Abstract Algebra II, Math 442 Loyola College, Spring 2005 A Brief History of Ring Theory Kristen Pollock 2 1. Introduction In order to fully define and examine an abstract ring, this essay will follow a procedure that is unlike a typical algebra textbook. That is, rather than initially offering just definitions, relevant examples will first be supplied so that the origins of a ring and its components can be better understood. Of course, this is the path that history has taken so what better way to proceed? First, it is important to understand that the abstract ring concept emerged from not one, but two theories: commutative ring theory and noncommutative ring the- ory. These two theories originated in different problems, were developed by different people and flourished in different directions. Still, these theories have much in com- mon and together form the foundation of today's ring theory. Specifically, modern commutative ring theory has its roots in problems of algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. On the other hand, noncommutative ring theory originated from an attempt to expand the complex numbers to a variety of hypercomplex number systems. 2. Noncommutative Rings We will begin with noncommutative ring theory and its main originating ex- ample: the quaternions. According to Israel Kleiner's article \The Genesis of the Abstract Ring Concept," [2]. these numbers, created by Hamilton in 1843, are of the form a + bi + cj + dk (a; b; c; d 2 R) where addition is through its components 2 2 2 and multiplication is subject to the relations i =pj = k = ijk = −1.

  • Formal Power Series Rings, Inverse Limits, and I-Adic Completions of Rings
    Formal power series rings, inverse limits, and I-adic completions of rings Formal semigroup rings and formal power series rings We next want to explore the notion of a (formal) power series ring in finitely many variables over a ring R, and show that it is Noetherian when R is. But we begin with a definition in much greater generality. Let S be a commutative semigroup (which will have identity 1S = 1) written multi- plicatively. The semigroup ring of S with coefficients in R may be thought of as the free R-module with basis S, with multiplication defined by the rule h k X X 0 0 X X 0 ( risi)( rjsj) = ( rirj)s: i=1 j=1 s2S 0 sisj =s We next want to construct a much larger ring in which infinite sums of multiples of elements of S are allowed. In order to insure that multiplication is well-defined, from now on we assume that S has the following additional property: (#) For all s 2 S, f(s1; s2) 2 S × S : s1s2 = sg is finite. Thus, each element of S has only finitely many factorizations as a product of two k1 kn elements. For example, we may take S to be the set of all monomials fx1 ··· xn : n (k1; : : : ; kn) 2 N g in n variables. For this chocie of S, the usual semigroup ring R[S] may be identified with the polynomial ring R[x1; : : : ; xn] in n indeterminates over R. We next construct a formal semigroup ring denoted R[[S]]: we may think of this ring formally as consisting of all functions from S to R, but we shall indicate elements of the P ring notationally as (possibly infinite) formal sums s2S rss, where the function corre- sponding to this formal sum maps s to rs for all s 2 S.
