There are eleven such varieties: the variety of all quasigroups, the variety of commutative quasigroups, the variety of groups, the variety of abelian groups and, moreover, seven varieties which have not been studied in much detail until now. In Section 1 we describe these varieties. A survey of some significant properties of arbitrary varieties is given in Section 2; in Sections 3, 4 and 5 we assign these properties to the eleven varieties mentioned above and in Section 6 we give a table summarizing the results. 1. STRICTLY BALANCED QUASIGROUP IDENTITIES OF LENGTH £ 6 Quasigroups are considered as universal algebras with three binary operations •, /, \ (the class of all quasigroups is thus a variety). -
Dedekind Domains
Dedekind Domains Mathematics 601 In this note we prove several facts about Dedekind domains that we will use in the course of proving the Riemann-Roch theorem. The main theorem shows that if K=F is a finite extension and A is a Dedekind domain with quotient field F , then the integral closure of A in K is also a Dedekind domain. As we will see in the proof, we need various results from ring theory and field theory. We first recall some basic definitions and facts. A Dedekind domain is an integral domain B for which every nonzero ideal can be written uniquely as a product of prime ideals. Perhaps the main theorem about Dedekind domains is that a domain B is a Dedekind domain if and only if B is Noetherian, integrally closed, and dim(B) = 1. Without fully defining dimension, to say that a ring has dimension 1 says nothing more than nonzero prime ideals are maximal. Moreover, a Noetherian ring B is a Dedekind domain if and only if BM is a discrete valuation ring for every maximal ideal M of B. In particular, a Dedekind domain that is a local ring is a discrete valuation ring, and vice-versa. We start by mentioning two examples of Dedekind domains. Example 1. The ring of integers Z is a Dedekind domain. In fact, any principal ideal domain is a Dedekind domain since a principal ideal domain is Noetherian integrally closed, and nonzero prime ideals are maximal. Alternatively, it is easy to prove that in a principal ideal domain, every nonzero ideal factors uniquely into prime ideals. -
Single Elements
Beitr¨agezur Algebra und Geometrie Contributions to Algebra and Geometry Volume 47 (2006), No. 1, 275-288. Single Elements B. J. Gardner Gordon Mason Department of Mathematics, University of Tasmania Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Department of Mathematics & Statistics, University of New Brunswick Fredericton, N.B., Canada Abstract. In this paper we consider single elements in rings and near- rings. If R is a (near)ring, x ∈ R is called single if axb = 0 ⇒ ax = 0 or xb = 0. In seeking rings in which each element is single, we are led to consider 0-simple rings, a class which lies between division rings and simple rings. MSC 2000: 16U99 (primary), 16Y30 (secondary) Introduction If R is a (not necessarily unital) ring, an element s is called single if whenever asb = 0 then as = 0 or sb = 0. The definition was first given by J. Erdos [2] who used it to obtain results in the representation theory of normed algebras. More recently the idea has been applied by Longstaff and Panaia to certain matrix algebras (see [9] and its bibliography) and they suggest it might be worthy of further study in other contexts. In seeking rings in which every element is single we are led to consider 0-simple rings, a class which lies between division rings and simple rings. In the final section we examine the situation in nearrings and obtain information about minimal N-subgroups of some centralizer nearrings. 1. Single elements in rings We begin with a slightly more general definition. If I is a one-sided ideal in a ring R an element x ∈ R will be called I-single if axb ∈ I ⇒ ax ∈ I or xb ∈ I. -
Noncommutative Unique Factorization Domainso
NONCOMMUTATIVE UNIQUE FACTORIZATION DOMAINSO BY P. M. COHN 1. Introduction. By a (commutative) unique factorization domain (UFD) one usually understands an integral domain R (with a unit-element) satisfying the following three conditions (cf. e.g. Zariski-Samuel [16]): Al. Every element of R which is neither zero nor a unit is a product of primes. A2. Any two prime factorizations of a given element have the same number of factors. A3. The primes occurring in any factorization of a are completely deter- mined by a, except for their order and for multiplication by units. If R* denotes the semigroup of nonzero elements of R and U is the group of units, then the classes of associated elements form a semigroup R* / U, and A1-3 are equivalent to B. The semigroup R*jU is free commutative. One may generalize the notion of UFD to noncommutative rings by taking either A-l3 or B as starting point. It is obvious how to do this in case B, although the class of rings obtained is rather narrow and does not even include all the commutative UFD's. This is indicated briefly in §7, where examples are also given of noncommutative rings satisfying the definition. However, our principal aim is to give a definition of a noncommutative UFD which includes the commutative case. Here it is better to start from A1-3; in order to find the precise form which such a definition should take we consider the simplest case, that of noncommutative principal ideal domains. For these rings one obtains a unique factorization theorem simply by reinterpreting the Jordan- Holder theorem for right .R-modules on one generator (cf. -

7. Euclidean Domains Let R be an integral domain. We want to find natural conditions on R such that R is a PID. Looking at the case of the integers, it is clear that the key property is the division algorithm. Definition 7.1. Let R be an integral domain. We say that R is Eu- clidean, if there is a function d: R − f0g −! N [ f0g; which satisfies, for every pair of non-zero elements a and b of R, (1) d(a) ≤ d(ab): (2) There are elements q and r of R such that b = aq + r; where either r = 0 or d(r) < d(a). Example 7.2. The ring Z is a Euclidean domain. The function d is the absolute value. Definition 7.3. Let R be a ring and let f 2 R[x] be a polynomial with coefficients in R. The degree of f is the largest n such that the coefficient of xn is non-zero. Lemma 7.4. Let R be an integral domain and let f and g be two elements of R[x]. Then the degree of fg is the sum of the degrees of f and g. In particular R[x] is an integral domain. Proof. Suppose that f has degree m and g has degree n. If a is the leading coefficient of f and b is the leading coefficient of g then f = axm + ::: and f = bxn + :::; where ::: indicate lower degree terms then fg = (ab)xm+n + :::: As R is an integral domain, ab 6= 0, so that the degree of fg is m + n. -
SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS and CONSTRUCTIONS Definition
SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTIONS Definition 1. A monoid is a set M with an element e and an associative multipli- cation M M M for which e is a two-sided identity element: em = m = me for all m M×. A−→group is a monoid in which each element m has an inverse element m−1, so∈ that mm−1 = e = m−1m. A homomorphism f : M N of monoids is a function f such that f(mn) = −→ f(m)f(n) and f(eM )= eN . A “homomorphism” of any kind of algebraic structure is a function that preserves all of the structure that goes into the definition. When M is commutative, mn = nm for all m,n M, we often write the product as +, the identity element as 0, and the inverse of∈m as m. As a convention, it is convenient to say that a commutative monoid is “Abelian”− when we choose to think of its product as “addition”, but to use the word “commutative” when we choose to think of its product as “multiplication”; in the latter case, we write the identity element as 1. Definition 2. The Grothendieck construction on an Abelian monoid is an Abelian group G(M) together with a homomorphism of Abelian monoids i : M G(M) such that, for any Abelian group A and homomorphism of Abelian monoids−→ f : M A, there exists a unique homomorphism of Abelian groups f˜ : G(M) A −→ −→ such that f˜ i = f. ◦ We construct G(M) explicitly by taking equivalence classes of ordered pairs (m,n) of elements of M, thought of as “m n”, under the equivalence relation generated by (m,n) (m′,n′) if m + n′ = −n + m′. -
Right Ideals of a Ring and Sublanguages of Science
RIGHT IDEALS OF A RING AND SUBLANGUAGES OF SCIENCE Javier Arias Navarro Ph.D. In General Linguistics and Spanish Language http://www.javierarias.info/ Abstract Among Zellig Harris’s numerous contributions to linguistics his theory of the sublanguages of science probably ranks among the most underrated. However, not only has this theory led to some exhaustive and meaningful applications in the study of the grammar of immunology language and its changes over time, but it also illustrates the nature of mathematical relations between chunks or subsets of a grammar and the language as a whole. This becomes most clear when dealing with the connection between metalanguage and language, as well as when reflecting on operators. This paper tries to justify the claim that the sublanguages of science stand in a particular algebraic relation to the rest of the language they are embedded in, namely, that of right ideals in a ring. Keywords: Zellig Sabbetai Harris, Information Structure of Language, Sublanguages of Science, Ideal Numbers, Ernst Kummer, Ideals, Richard Dedekind, Ring Theory, Right Ideals, Emmy Noether, Order Theory, Marshall Harvey Stone. §1. Preliminary Word In recent work (Arias 2015)1 a line of research has been outlined in which the basic tenets underpinning the algebraic treatment of language are explored. The claim was there made that the concept of ideal in a ring could account for the structure of so- called sublanguages of science in a very precise way. The present text is based on that work, by exploring in some detail the consequences of such statement. §2. Introduction Zellig Harris (1909-1992) contributions to the field of linguistics were manifold and in many respects of utmost significance. -
6. PID and UFD Let R Be a Commutative Ring. Recall That a Non-Unit X ∈ R Is Called Irreducible If X Cannot Be Written As A
6. PID and UFD Let R be a commutative ring. Recall that a non-unit x R is called irreducible if x cannot be written as a product of two non-unit elements of R i.e.∈x = ab implies either a is an unit or b is an unit. Also recall that a domain R is called a principal ideal domain or a PID if every ideal in R can be generated by one element, i.e. is principal. 6.1. Lemma. (a) Let R be a commutative domain. Then prime elements in R are irreducible. (b) Let R be a PID. Then an irreducible in R is a prime element. Proof. (a) Let (p) be a prime ideal in R. If possible suppose p = uv.Thenuv (p), so either u (p)orv (p), if u (p), then u = cp,socv = 1, that is v is an unit. Similarly,∈ if v (p), then∈ u is an∈ unit. ∈ ∈(b) Let p R be irreducible. Suppose ab (p). Since R is a PID, the ideal (a, p)hasa generator, say∈ x, that is, (x)=(a, p). Then ∈p (x), so p = xu for some u R. Since p is irreducible, either u or x must be an unit and we∈ consider these two cases seperately:∈ In the first case, when u is an unit, then x = u−1p,soa (x) (p), that is, p divides a.Inthe second case, when x is a unit, then (a, p)=(1).So(∈ ab,⊆ pb)=(b). But (ab, pb) (p). So (b) (p), that is p divides b. -

On Various Types of Ideals of Gamma Rings and the Corresponding Operator Rings
Ranu Paul Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 5, Issue 8, (Part -4) August 2015, pp.95-98 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS On Various Types of Ideals of Gamma Rings and the Corresponding Operator Rings Ranu Paul Department of Mathematics Pandu College, Guwahati 781012 Assam State, India Abstract The prime objective of this paper is to prove some deep results on various types of Gamma ideals. The characteristics of various types of Gamma ideals viz. prime/maximal/minimal/nilpotent/primary/semi-prime ideals of a Gamma-ring are shown to be maintained in the corresponding right (left) operator rings of the Gamma-rings. The converse problems are also investigated with some good outcomes. Further it is shown that the projective product of two Gamma-rings cannot be simple.

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. -
Unit and Unitary Cayley Graphs for the Ring of Gaussian Integers Modulo N
Quasigroups and Related Systems 25 (2017), 189 − 200 Unit and unitary Cayley graphs for the ring of Gaussian integers modulo n Ali Bahrami and Reza Jahani-Nezhad Abstract. Let [i] be the ring of Gaussian integers modulo n and G( [i]) and G be the Zn Zn Zn[i] unit graph and the unitary Cayley graph of Zn[i], respectively. In this paper, we study G(Zn[i]) and G . Among many results, it is shown that for each positive integer n, the graphs G( [i]) Zn[i] Zn and G are Hamiltonian. We also nd a necessary and sucient condition for the unit and Zn[i] unitary Cayley graphs of Zn[i] to be Eulerian. 1. Introduction Finding the relationship between the algebraic structure of rings using properties of graphs associated to them has become an interesting topic in the last years. There are many papers on assigning a graph to a ring, see [1], [3], [4], [5], [7], [6], [8], [10], [11], [12], [17], [19], and [20]. Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. We denote by U(R), J(R) and Z(R) the group of units of R, the Jacobson radical of R and the set of zero divisors of R, respectively. The unitary Cayley graph of R, denoted by GR, is the graph whose vertex set is R, and in which fa; bg is an edge if and only if a − b 2 U(R). The unit graph G(R) of R is the simple graph whose vertices are elements of R and two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if a + b in U(R) .
