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.

Fixed fieldField

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Elements fixed by a group of field automorphisms are closed under the field operations and form a subfield.

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.

Authored explanation

The quotient of a local ring by its unique maximal ideal is a field.

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.
