prime ring (複数形 prime rings)

1. (algebra, ring theory) Any nonzero ring R such that for any two (two-sided) ideals P and Q in R, the product PQ = 0 (the zero ideal) if and only if P = 0 or Q = 0.

     A ring is called a prime ring if the product of nonzero ideals in it remains nonzero. It is obvious that a prime ring is necessarily semi-prime.

     The ring R is said to be prime if for all nonzero ideals A, B of R we have AB≠0. An ideal P of R is called a prime ideal if R/P is a prime ring. Prime rings and prime ideals are important building blocks in noncommutative ring theory.

     The so-called extended centroid of a prime ring, i.e., a field defined as the center of the Martindale ring of quotients, will enable us to extend a part of the theory of central simple algebras to general prime rings.
