Principal ideal ring

In mathematics, a principal right (left) ideal ring is a ring R in which every right (left) ideal is of the form xR (Rx) for some element x of R. (The right and left ideals of this form, generated by one element, are called principal ideals.) When this is satisfied for both left and right ideals, such as the case when R is a commutative ring, R can be called a principal ideal ring, or simply principal ring. If only the finitely generated right ideals of R are principal, then R is called a right Bézout ring. Left Bézout rings are defined similarly. These conditions are studied in domains as Bézout domains. A commutative principal ideal ring which is also an integral domain is said to be a principal ideal domain (PID). In this article the focus is on the more general concept of a principal ideal ring which is not necessarily a domain. (Wikipedia).

Abstract Algebra | Principal Ideals of a Ring

We define the notion of a principal ideal of a ring and give some examples. We also prove that all ideals of the integers are principal ideals, that is, the integers form a principal ideal domain (PID). http://www.michael-penn.net https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael_Penn5 http://

Ideals in Ring Theory (Abstract Algebra)

An ideal of a ring is the similar to a normal subgroup of a group. Using an ideal, you can partition a ring into cosets, and these cosets form a new ring - a "factor ring." (Also called a "quotient ring.") After reviewing normal subgroups, we will show you *why* the definition of an ide

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.

Rings 6 Prime and maximal ideals

This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We discuss prime and maximal ideals of a (commutative) ring, use them to construct the spectrum of a ring, and give a few examples. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yHsr3EFj5

RNT2.1. Maximal Ideals and Fields

Ring Theory: We now consider special types of rings. In this part, we define maximal ideals and explore their relation to fields. In addition, we note three ways to construct fields.

RNT2.4. Gaussian Primes

Ring Theory: As an application of all previous ideas on rings, we determine the primes in the Euclidean domain of Gaussian integers Z[i]. Not only is the answer somewhat elegant, but it contains a beautiful theorem on prime integers due to Fermat. We finish with examples of factorization

We don't always get unique factorisation. In those cases, can we measure how badly this uniqueness fails?

Rings and modules 4 Unique factorization

This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We discuss unique factorization in rings, showing the implications (Integers) implies (Euclidean domain) implies (Principal ideal domain) implies (Unique factorization domain). We give a few examples to illustrate these implic

We prove that every ideal of a quotient of a principal ideal domain is also principal. Notice that the new space may not be an integral domain, so it is sometimes called a principal ring. Please Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/michaelpennmath?sub_confirmation=1 Personal Website: http:

Proof: Prime Ideals are Maximal in a PID

In a principal ideal domain, if an ideal is a prime ideal, that implies it is a maximal ideal, as long as it is not just the zero ideal. Here we give a straightforward explanation of this theorem from ring theory! Ring & Module Theory playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLug5Z
