The Image of the Natural Numbers with Zero in a Commutative Ring Respects Zero, One, Sums, Products, Differences, Powers, and Finite Sums and Products

The images of 0 and 1 in a commutative ring are its zero and unit, and the image of a sum, product, difference, power, finite sum or finite product of natural numbers with zero is the corresponding expression in the images.

Statement

In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let RR, with ++, ⋅\cdot, 00 and 11, be a commutative ring, let m,n∈N0m,n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, and let mRm_{R} and nRn_{R} be their images in RR. Let −- in RR be as in Negatives, Differences, Reciprocals and Quotients §negative, n−mn-m for m≤nm\le n in N0\mathbb{N}_{0} as in The Difference of Two Natural Numbers with Zero §difference, powers in N0\mathbb{N}_{0} and in RR as in Powers with Exponents in the Natural Numbers with Zero §power and Powers with Exponents in the Natural Numbers with Zero §zero, and finite sums and products in N0\mathbb{N}_{0} and in RR as in Sums and Products over a Finite Set and over an Interval §operation and Sums and Products over a Finite Set and over an Interval §empty; these apply in RR because ++ and ⋅\cdot are associative and commutative with neutral elements 00 and 11 by Commutative Rings §ring, on both sides by commutativity, and in N0\mathbb{N}_{0} by The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion §laws.

0R0_{R} is the zero of RR, and 1R1_{R} is the unit of RR.

(m+n)R=mR+nR(m+n)_{R}=m_{R}+n_{R}.

(mn)R=mR nR(mn)_{R}=m_{R}\,n_{R}.

If m≤nm\le n, then (n−m)R=nR−mR(n-m)_{R}=n_{R}-m_{R}.

(mk)R=(mR)k(m^{k})_{R}=(m_{R})^{k} for every k∈N0k\in\mathbb{N}_{0}.

For every finite set AA and every map f:A→N0f:A\to\mathbb{N}_{0}, (∑a∈Af(a))R=∑a∈Af(a)R\big(\sum_{a\in A}f(a)\big)_{R}=\sum_{a\in A}f(a)_{R} and (∏a∈Af(a))R=∏a∈Af(a)R\big(\prod_{a\in A}f(a)\big)_{R}=\prod_{a\in A}f(a)_{R}.
