Summary

An additive subgroup II of a ring RR such that riri and irir lie in II for every r∈Rr\in R and i∈Ii\in I; for commutative rings the two absorption conditions coincide.

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.

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

Authored explanation

Prime ideals are the proper ideals for which a product can enter the ideal only through at least one factor, a condition equivalent in commutative rings to domain-valued quotient.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The ideal determines the equivalence relation used in R/IR/I, and ideal absorption is what makes multiplication of cosets independent of representative.

How to interpret this relation type

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
