名詞

ideal (複数形 ideals)

1. A perfect standard of beauty, intellect etc., or a standard of excellence to aim at.

   Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny - Carl Schurz

2. (mathematics, order theory) A non-empty lower set (of a partially ordered set) which is closed under binary suprema (a.k.a. joins).^[2]

   If (1) the empty set were called a "small" set, and (2) any subset of a "small" set were also a "small" set, and (3) the union of any pair of "small" sets were also a "small" set, then the set of all "small" sets would form an ideal.

   1. (for example, algebra) A subring closed under multiplication by its containing ring.

      Let ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} }$ be the ring of integers and let ${\displaystyle 2\mathbb {Z} }$ be its ideal of even integers. Then the quotient ring ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} /2\mathbb {Z} }$ is a Boolean ring.

      The product of two ideals ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {a}}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {b}}}$ is an ideal ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {ab}}}$ which is a subset of the intersection of ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {a}}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {b}}}$. This should help to understand why maximal ideals are prime ideals. Likewise, the union of ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {a}}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {b}}}$ is a subset of ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {a+b}}}$.
