Definition df-subrg 14177

Description: Define a subring of a ring as a set of elements that is a ring in its own right and contains the multiplicative identity.

The additional constraint is necessary because the multiplicative identity of a ring, unlike the additive identity of a ring/group or the multiplicative identity of a field, cannot be identified by a local property. Thus, it is possible for a subset of a ring to be a ring while not containing the true identity if it contains a false identity. For instance, the subset ( ZZ X. { 0 } ) of ( ZZ X. ZZ ) (where multiplication is componentwise) contains the false identity <. 1 , 0 >. which preserves every element of the subset and thus appears to be the identity of the subset, but is not the identity of the larger ring.
