\begin{definition}[Characteristic of a Ring]
|
||||
The \textit{characteristic} of a ring $R$ is the least positive integer $n$ such that $nx = 0$ for all $x$ in $R$. If no such integer exists, we say that $R$ has characteristic 0. The characteristic of $R$ is denoted by $\characteristic R$.

\begin{theorem}[Characteristic of a Ring with Unity]
|
||||
Let $R$ be a ring with unity 1. If 1 has infinite order under addition, then the characteristic of $R$ is 0. If 1 has order $n$ under addition, then the characteristic of $R$ is $n$.

\begin{theorem}[Characteristic of an Integral Domain]

\begin{definition}[Zero Divisors]
|
||||
A \textit{zero-divisor} is a nonzero element $a$ of a commutative ring $R$ such that there is a nonzero element $b \in R$ with $ab = 0$.
|
||||
\end{definition}
|
||||
|

\begin{definition}[Integral Domain]
|
||||
An \textit{integral domain} is a commutative ring with unity and no zero-divisors.

\end{definition}

|
||||
\begin{theorem}[Cancellation]
|
||||
Let $a,b$, and $c$ belong to an integral domain If $a \neq 0$ and $ab = ac$, then $b = c$.

\section{Fields}
|

|

\begin{definition}[Field]
|
||||
A \textit{field} is a commutative ring with unity in which every nonzero element is a unit.

\end{definition}

\begin{theorem}[Finite Integral Domains are Fields]
|
||||
A finite integral domain is a field.

\begin{corollary}[$\mathbf{\Z_p}$ Is a Field]
|
||||
For every prime $p$, $\Z_p$, the ring of integers modulo $p$ is a field.
