In mathematics, a ring is an algebraic structure in which addition and multiplication are defined and have similar properties to those familiar from the integers. The branch of mathematics where rings are studied is called ring theory.
History
See Ring theory
Definition and notation
A ring is an abelian group (R, +), together with a second binary operation * such that for all a, b and c in R,and such that there exists a multiplicative identity, or unity, that is, an element 1 so that for all a in R,
- a * (b*c) = (a*b) * c
- a * (b+c) = (a*b) + (a*c)
- (a+b) * c = (a*c) + (b*c)
(Many authors omit the requirement for a multiplicative identity, and call those rings which do have multiplicative identities unitary rings. Similarly, the requirement for the ring multiplication to be associative is sometimes dropped, and rings in which the associative law holds are called associative rings. In this encyclopedia, associativity and the existence of a multiplicative identity are taken to be part of the definition of a ring.)
- a*1 = 1*a = a
Note that the commutative law,
is not among the ring axioms listed above; rings that satisfy this law (such as the ring of integers) are called commutative rings. In general, rings are not commutative, though (see, for example, Matrix rings, described below).
- a*b=b*a for all a,b in R
The identity element with respect to + is called the zero element of the ring and written as 0. The symbol * is usually omitted from the notation, and the standard order of operation rules are used, so that e.g. a+bc is an abbreviation for a+(b*c). The additive inverse of the element x in a ring is written as -x.
In a ring we have 0=1 if and only if we are dealing with the trivial ring {0} with a single element. Unless specified, all rings in Wikipedia have different 1 and 0.
An element a in a ring is called a unit if it is invertible with respect to multiplication, i.e., if there is an element b in the ring such that
If that is the case, then b is uniquely determined by a and we write a-1 = b.
- ab = ba = 1
Examples
- The motivating example is the ring of integers with the two operations of addition and multiplication.
- The rational, real and complex numbers form rings, in fact they are even fieldss.
- If n is a positive integer, then the set Zn of integers modulo n forms a ring with n elements (see modular arithmetic).
- The set of all continuous real-valued functions defined on the interval [a, b] forms a ring (even an associative algebra). The operations are addition and multiplication of functions.
- The set of all polynomials over some common coefficient ring forms a ring.
- For any ring R and any natural number n, the set of all square n-by-n matrices with entries from R, forms a ring with matrix addition and matrix multiplication as operations. For n=1, this matrix ring is just (isomorphic to) R itself. For n>2, this matrix ring is an example of a noncommutative ring (unless R is the trivial ring).
- The trivial ring {0} has only one element which serves both as additive and multiplicative identity.
- If G is an abelian group, then the endomorphisms of G form a ring, the endomorphism ring End(G) of G. The operations in this ring are addition and composition of endomorphisms.
- If S is a set, then the power set of S becomes a ring if we define addition to be the symmetric difference of sets and multiplication to be intersection. This is an example of a Boolean ring.
- The set of formal power series R[[X1,...,Xn]] over a commutative ring R is a ring.
- The set of all functions in n complex variables holomorphic at the origin is a ring.
Simple theorems
From the axioms, one can immediately deduce that, for all elements a and b of a ring, we have
- 0a = a0 = 0
- (-1)a = -a
- (-a)b = a(-b) = -(ab)
- (ab)-1=b-1 a-1 if both a and b are invertible, and hence the set of all invertible elements in a ring is closed under multiplication * and forms a group, the group of units of the ring.
Constructing new rings from given ones
(r1,s1)+(r2,s2) = (r1+r2,s1+s2) and
- If a subset S of a ring (R,+,*) together with the operations + and * restricted on S is itself a ring, and the identity element 1 of R is contained in S, then S is called a subring of (R,+,*).
- The direct sum of two rings R and S is the cartesian product R×S together with the operations
(r1,s1)(r2,s2) = (r1r2,s1s2).
- Given a ring R and an ideal I of R, the factor ring R/I is the set of cosets of I together with the operations (a+I)+(b+I)=(a+b)+I and (a+I)(b+I)=ab+I.

The Rings of Power, fictional artifacts from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe, were forged in Eregion in the Second Age by the Elves, who reached the pinnacle of their skills with the aid of Sauron. The Elves made nineteen Rings in all, and Sauron forged the One Ring, the Ruling Ring, secretly in the Fires of Mount Doom. Sauron created the One Ring to rule over all the others, and he put a great part of his power into the One. The Elves realized that Sauron wished to control them, and refused to use the Three Rings. Sauron took possession of the Nine Rings and the Elves fled Eregion with the Seven and the Three Elven-Rings, the greatest of all the Elven-Rings forged. The Elves gave the Seven Rings to the Dwarf-Kings. Sauron gave the Nine Rings to Mortal Men. Although the Dwarves used their rings to establish their Treasure Hoards, they did not submit to Sauron, however Dragonss destroyed three of the Seven Rings, and after Sauron's return he recaptured the remaining four. Men came came quickly under the power of the One Ring and became the Nazgul, the Ringwraiths.The Three Rings of the Elves of Eregion were forged by Celebrimbor alone, and were never touched by Sauron. They were called Narya, Nenya, and Vilya. They remained hidden and their whereabouts were not revealed until the end of the Third Age, after Frodo Baggins destroyed the One Ring, and the Dark Lord Sauron was completely overthrown.
A verse that summarizes the Rings and their ownership is an important part of the lore of Middle-earth. It translates as follows:
See also: Middle-earth
- Three Rings for the Elven Kings under the sky;
- Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone;
- Nine for mortal Men, doomed to die;
- One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
- In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
- One Ring to Rule them all,
- One Ring to find them,
- One Ring to bring them all
- And in the darkness bind them,
- In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | ABRACADABRA. By Abracadabra we signify An infinite number of things. 'Tis the answer to What? and How? and Why? And Whence? and Whither? -- a word whereby The Truth (with the comfort it brings) Is open to all who grope in night, Crying for Wisdom's holy light. Whether the word is a verb or a noun Is knowledge beyond my reach. I only know that 'tis handed down. From sage to sage, From age to age -- An immortal part of speech! Of an ancient man the tale is told That he lived to be ten centuries old, In a cave on a mountain side. (True, he finally died.) The fame of his wisdom filled the land, For his head was bald, and you'll understand His beard was long and white And his eyes uncommonly bright. Philosophers gathered from far and near To sit at his feat and hear and hear, Though he never was heard To utter a word But "Abracadabra, abracadab, Abracada, abracad, Abraca, abrac, abra, ab!" 'Twas all he had, 'Twas all they wanted to hear, and each Made copious notes of the mystical speech, Which they published next -- A trickle of text In the meadow of commentary. Mighty big books were these, In a number, as leaves of trees; In learning, remarkably -- very! He's dead, As I said, And the books of the sages have perished, But his wisdom is sacredly cherished. In Abracadabra it solemnly rings, Like an ancient bell that forever swings. O, I love to hear That word make clear Humanity's General Sense of Things. Jamrach Holobom |
