Spectrum of A Ring

Spectrum Of A Ring

In abstract algebra and algebraic geometry, the spectrum of a commutative ring R, denoted by Spec(R), is the set of all proper prime ideals of R. It is commonly augmented with the Zariski topology and with a structure sheaf, turning it into a locally ringed space.

Famous quotes containing the word ring:

    The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which, from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new and larger circles, and that without end.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
