Def. Ring with unity :
A ring R ¹ {0} is said to be a ring with unity if it contains multiplicative identity i.e., there exists an element denoted by 1Î R such that a. 1= a == 1.a for all a ÎR . Def. Division ring or Skew-field : A ring R is said to be a division ring or skew-field if
(i)
R is with unity i.e. 1Î R .
(ii)
Every non-zero element of R has a multiplicative
inverse i.e., for every non-zero element a ÎR
there exists an element b Î Rsuch that a. b= b. a =1.
We usually denote multiplicative inverse of a by a-1
