abstract algebra, a matrix ring is a set of matrices with entries in a ring R that form a ring under matrix addition and matrix multiplication. The set...

in matrix theory. Square matrices of a given dimension form a noncommutative ring, which is one of the most common examples of a noncommutative ring. The...

unit matrix is ambiguous, because it is also used for a matrix of ones and for any unit of the ring of all n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrices. In some...

operations. For n = 1, this matrix ring is isomorphic to R itself. For n > 1 (and R not the zero ring), this matrix ring is noncommutative. If G is an...

square matrix over a commutative ring is invertible if and only if its determinant is a unit (i.e. multiplicatively invertible element) of that ring. The...

algebra, a generic matrix ring is a sort of a universal matrix ring. We denote by F n {\displaystyle F_{n}} a generic matrix ring of size n with variables...

columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. The resulting matrix, known as the matrix product, has the number...

used to refer to the element 1 of the ring, in expressions like ring with a unit or unit ring, and also unit matrix. Because of this ambiguity, 1 is more...

In algebra, a triangular matrix ring, also called a triangular ring, is a ring constructed from two rings and a bimodule. If T {\displaystyle T} and U...

is called quasi-simple. Rings which are simple as rings but are not a simple module over themselves do exist: a full matrix ring over a field does not have...

semisimple rings and semisimple algebras. The theorem states that an (Artinian) semisimple ring R is isomorphic to a product of finitely many ni-by-ni matrix rings...
