ring


A ring is a set R together with two binary operations, denoted +:R×RR and :R×RR, such that

  1. 1.

    (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) and (ab)c=a(bc) for all a,b,cR (associative law)

  2. 2.

    a+b=b+a for all a,bR (commutative law)

  3. 3.

    There exists an element 0R such that a+0=a for all aR (additive identity)

  4. 4.

    For all aR, there exists bR such that a+b=0 (additive inverse)

  5. 5.

    a(b+c)=(ab)+(ac) and (a+b)c=(ac)+(bc) for all a,b,cR (distributive law)

Equivalently, a ring is an abelian groupMathworldPlanetmath (R,+) together with a second binary operation such that is associative and distributes over +. Additive inverses are unique, and one can define subtraction in any ring using the formula a-b:=a+(-b) where -b is the additive inverse of b.

We say R has a multiplicative identityPlanetmathPlanetmath if there exists an element 1R such that a1=1a=a for all aR. Alternatively, one may say that R is a ring with unity, a unital ring, or a unitary ring. Oftentimes an author will adopt the convention that all rings have a multiplicative identity. If R does have a multiplicative identity, then a multiplicative inverse of an element aR is an element bR such that ab=ba=1. An element of R that has a multiplicative inverse is called a unit of R.

A ring R is commutative if ab=ba for all a,bR.
