Ring Theory and Commutative Algebra

This group gathers theorems about rings, ideals and modules, the algebraic structures that generalize the integers and the polynomials by allowing both addition and multiplication. It covers commutative algebra, where ideals, Noetherian rings and prime and maximal ideals are the main tools, and noncommutative ring theory, where simple and semisimple rings and their modules are classified. A theorem belongs here when its cited article places it in ring theory, commutative algebra or the study of ideals. Results about fields and Galois theory, groups or matrices are grouped elsewhere under Algebra.
