FieldCommutative ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Retain the commutative-ring operations and forget the nonzero-invertibility axiom.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

Relation sources

Polynomial ringCommutative ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A polynomial ring over a commutative coefficient ring is itself commutative.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

RingCommutative ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require multiplication to commute.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Commutative ringAffine scheme

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The functor Spec\operatorname{Spec} gives an anti-equivalence between commutative rings and affine schemes; morphisms reverse direction.

How to interpret this relation type

Reinterpret an object, pass to an equivalent presentation, or relate canonically corresponding structures; the carrier may change.

Commutative ringArtinian ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require descending chains of ideals to stabilize.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Commutative ringField

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require 101\ne 0 and every nonzero element to be invertible; inverse elements are unique.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Commutative ringIdeal

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Ideals of a commutative ring are additive subgroups closed under multiplication by arbitrary ring elements, providing the compatible equivalence data used in quotient rings.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Commutative ringIntegral domain

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require 101\ne 0 and require a product to vanish only when one factor vanishes.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Authored explanation

Require exactly one maximal ideal.

Commutative ringNoetherian ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require every ideal to be finitely generated.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Commutative ringPolynomial ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Form finite formal sums in a variable with coefficients in the ring.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Commutative ringPrime spectrum Spec(R)\operatorname{Spec}(R)

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Prime ideals with the Zariski topology and structure sheaf form the affine spectrum.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Relation sources

Commutative ringQuotient ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

For an ideal IRI\triangleleft R, the quotient identifies a,bRa,b\in R exactly when abIa-b\in I; the cosets a+Ia+I inherit well-defined ring operations.

How to interpret this relation type

Identify elements by a stated equivalence relation and equip the quotient with the induced structure. The edge detail must state the representatives and equivalence relation.

Commutative ringLocalization of a commutative ring

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Localization universally makes selected ring elements invertible.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.
