NilradicalEn algèbre, le nilradical d'un anneau commutatif est un idéal particulier de cet anneau. Soit A un anneau commutatif. Le nilradical de A est l'ensemble des éléments nilpotents de A. En d'autres termes, c'est l'idéal radical de l'idéal réduit à 0. En notant Nil(A) le nilradical de A, on a les énoncés suivants : Nil(A) est un idéal ; l'anneau quotient A/Nil(A) est réduit, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'a pas d'éléments nilpotents hormis 0 ; Nil(A) est inclus dans chaque idéal premier de A ; si s est un élément de A qui n'appartient pas à Nil(A), alors il existe un idéal premier auquel s n'appartient pas ; si A n'est pas l'anneau nul, Nil(A) est l'intersection de tous les idéaux premiers de A et même, de tous ses .
Multiplicatively closed setIn abstract algebra, a multiplicatively closed set (or multiplicative set) is a subset S of a ring R such that the following two conditions hold: for all . In other words, S is closed under taking finite products, including the empty product 1. Equivalently, a multiplicative set is a submonoid of the multiplicative monoid of a ring. Multiplicative sets are important especially in commutative algebra, where they are used to build localizations of commutative rings. A subset S of a ring R is called saturated if it is closed under taking divisors: i.
Primary idealIn mathematics, specifically commutative algebra, a proper ideal Q of a commutative ring A is said to be primary if whenever xy is an element of Q then x or yn is also an element of Q, for some n > 0. For example, in the ring of integers Z, (pn) is a primary ideal if p is a prime number. The notion of primary ideals is important in commutative ring theory because every ideal of a Noetherian ring has a primary decomposition, that is, can be written as an intersection of finitely many primary ideals.
Idéal fractionnairevignette|Richard Dedekind donne en 1876 la définition d'idéal fractionnaire. En mathématiques, et plus précisément en théorie des anneaux, un idéal fractionnaire est une généralisation de la définition d'un idéal. Ce concept doit son origine à la théorie algébrique des nombres. Pour résoudre certaines équations diophantiennes, cette théorie utilise des anneaux d'entiers généralisant celui des entiers relatifs.
Semiprime ringIn ring theory, a branch of mathematics, semiprime ideals and semiprime rings are generalizations of prime ideals and prime rings. In commutative algebra, semiprime ideals are also called radical ideals and semiprime rings are the same as reduced rings. For example, in the ring of integers, the semiprime ideals are the zero ideal, along with those ideals of the form where n is a square-free integer. So, is a semiprime ideal of the integers (because 30 = 2 × 3 × 5, with no repeated prime factors), but is not (because 12 = 22 × 3, with a repeated prime factor).
