Ring theory MOC

Zero ring

The zero ring 0 is the unique rng structure on the trivial group {0}, #m/def/ring and is thus also a ring.1 It is initial and terminal in ๐–ฑ๐—‡๐—€, while it is only terminal in ๐–ฑ๐—‚๐—‡๐—€, since the codomain of a ring homomorphism from the zero ring must itself be the zero ring.2
