Localization (mathematics) | Ring theory

Local ring

In abstract algebra, more specifically ring theory, local rings are certain rings that are comparatively simple, and serve to describe what is called "local behaviour", in the sense of functions defined on varieties or manifolds, or of algebraic number fields examined at a particular place, or prime. Local algebra is the branch of commutative algebra that studies commutative local rings and their modules. In practice, a commutative local ring often arises as the result of the localization of a ring at a prime ideal. The concept of local rings was introduced by Wolfgang Krull in 1938 under the name Stellenringe. The English term local ring is due to Zariski. (Wikipedia).

Localization of Rings as Localizations of Categories

We show what it means to localize a category at a set of morphisms and show that usual localization of rings is an instance of this definition.

RIngs 7: Localization

This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We discuss the operation of inverting the elements of a subset S of a ring R, called localization. We describe the localization in detail for commutative rings, and briefly discuss the non-commutative case. For the other lec

RNT1.1. Definition of Ring

Ring Theory: We define rings and give many examples. Items under consideration include commutativity and multiplicative inverses. Example include modular integers, square matrices, polynomial rings, quaternions, and adjoins of algebraic and transcendental numbers.

RNT1.4. Ideals and Quotient Rings

Ring Theory: We define ideals in rings as an analogue of normal subgroups in group theory. We give a correspondence between (two-sided) ideals and kernels of homomorphisms using quotient rings. We also state the First Isomorphism Theorem for Rings and give examples.
