Ring theory MOC

Rng

A rng rʊŋ is a generalized ring which may lack a multiplicative identity. That is, a rng consists of an Abelian group called addition and a Semigroup called multiplication, with the extra conditions #m/def/ring

These are precisely the semigroup objects in .

Examples

An example of a rng that is not a ring is the even integers

with the ordinary operations of integer addition and multiplication.

Proof of 1–5

Clearly so , and likewise for , proving ^P1. Similarly and likewise for , proving ^P2. It follows that , proving ^P3. Note , and likewise for right-distributivity, proving ^P4.

Now

proving ^P5.
