Commutative Rings

Defines a commutative ring (with identity) as a set with two binary operations and two distinguished elements 0 and 1 satisfying the associative, commutative, identity, additive-inverse and distributive laws.

Statement

In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation, let rr be a set, let ++ and ⋅\cdot be binary operations on rr, written as in Binary Operations on a Set §notation with products formed before sums, and let 0,1∈r0,1\in r.

rr, with ++, ⋅\cdot, 00 and 11, is a commutative ring if, for all x,y,z∈rx,y,z\in r,

(x+y)+z=x+(y+z),x+y=y+x,x+0=x,(x⋅y)⋅z=x⋅(y⋅z),x⋅y=y⋅x,x⋅1=x,x⋅(y+z)=x⋅y+x⋅z,(x+y)+z=x+(y+z),\quad x+y=y+x,\quad x+0=x,\quad(x\cdot y)\cdot z=x\cdot(y\cdot z),\quad x\cdot y=y\cdot x,\quad x\cdot1=x,\quad x\cdot(y+z)=x\cdot y+x\cdot z,

and for every x∈rx\in r there is w∈rw\in r with x+w=0x+w=0.
