For other kinds of direct sums see Direct sum

Definition

Given two rings (R,+R,×R) and (S,+S,×S) their direct sum is defined on the set R×S (where × is the Cartesian product), that is:

  • R×S={(x,y)| xRyS}

and is denoted:[1]

where the operation + and × are defined as follows:

  • Given (x,y), (x,y)RS we define:
    • Addition as: (x,y)+(x,y)=(x+x,y+y) or more formally (x,y)+(x,y)=(x+Rx,y+Sy)
    • Multiplication as: (x,y)(x,y)=(xx,yy) or more formally (x,y)(x,y)=(x×Rx,y×Sy)

Other group properties

Unity

[Expand]

Theorem: The ring RS has unity if and only if both R and S have unity[2]

Commutative

[Expand]

Theorem: RS is a commutative ring if and only if both R and S are commutative rings
