What is Rings: Definition and 437 Discussions

Fighting Network Rings, trademarked as RINGS, is a Japanese combat sport promotion that has lived three distinct periods: puroresu promotion from its inauguration to 1995, mixed martial arts promotion from 1995 to its 2002 disestablishment, and the revived mixed martial arts promotion from 2008 onward.
RINGS was founded by Akira Maeda on May 11, 1991, following the dissolution of Newborn UWF. At that time, Maeda and Mitsuya Nagai were the only two people to transfer from UWF, wrestlers such as Kiyoshi Tamura, Hiromitsu Kanehara and Kenichi Yamamoto would later also transfer from UWF International.

    Unital rings, homomorphisms, etc

    I've already completed 1), but it's necessary for one to know it for question 2). I'm pretty sure that I've found my homomorphism in 2, but I don't know whether or not is unique. How do I show a homomorphism is unique in this case? Problem 1: Let R be a commutative unital ring, and let S be a...

    Finding units in polynomial quotient rings

    Is there a simple method for finding all the units in a polynomial quotient ring over a finite field? For example: {F_2[x] \over x^7-1} I can see the easy ones like 1, and all power of x, but I wanted a general rule or method for finding all of them if it exists (besides testing each...

    How reliable are tree rings for climate modeling?

    I won't say who said it, but does this sound right to you? Dendrochronolgists on TV all say it so easy, you count the tree rings and the space in between, and that will tell you about the temperature and precipitation and how long the tree lived. Also: This sounds kind of dumb, but what about...

    Homeomorphism of Rings: Proving Existence for Prime Numbers p and q

    Let p,q be two prime numbers. Prove that there exists a homeomorphism of rings such that f([1]_p)=[1]_q from Z_p[X] into Z_q[X] if and only if p=q. I believe that the converse of the statement is trivial but the implication seems to be obvious? I really don't know what there really is to...

    Visualizing the Associative & Distributive Properties of Rings

    I'm just starting rings and I don't think I really understand them. When an operation is shown as a grid where the entry i, j in the grid is the element (i op b), I can see immediately what the commutative property looks like (grid symmetric about diagonal from top left) and what a unit, a...

    Plastic deformation of rings

    I am designing a machine called a Ring Expander. Simply put, it's a machine used in metal forging operations to stretch metal rings (15 x 15cm cross section, 30cm inside diameter, 60cm outside diameter) by about 20mm on the diameter. It does this by forcing a cone through a set of jaws, which...
