Syntax	csubrg 20514	Extend class notation with all subrings of a ring.
class SubRing
Definition	df-subrg 20515*	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 (ℤ × {0}) of (ℤ × ℤ) (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.

10.3.14  Categories of rings
10.3.14.1  The category of non-unital rings The "category of non-unital rings" RngCat is the category of all non-unital rings Rng in a universe and non-unital ring homomorphisms RngHom between these rings. This category is defined as "category restriction" of the category of extensible structures ExtStrCat, which restricts the objects to non-unital rings and the morphisms to the non-unital ring homomorphisms, while the composition of morphisms is preserved, see df-rngc 20562. Alternately, the category of non-unital rings could have been defined as extensible structure consisting of three components/slots for the objects, morphisms and composition, see dfrngc2 20573. Since we consider only "small categories" (i.e. categories whose objects and morphisms are actually sets and not proper classes), the objects of the category (i.e. the base set of the category regarded as extensible structure) are a subset of the non-unital rings (relativized to a subset or "universe" 𝑢) (𝑢 ∩ Rng), see rngcbas 20566, and the morphisms/arrows are the non-unital ring homomorphisms restricted to this subset of the non-unital rings ( RngHom ↾ (𝐵 × 𝐵)), see rngchomfval 20567, whereas the composition is the ordinary composition of functions, see rngccofval 20571 and rngcco 20572. By showing that the non-unital ring homomorphisms between non-unital rings are a subcategory subset (⊆cat) of the mappings between base sets of extensible structures, see rnghmsscmap 20575, it can be shown that the non-unital ring homomorphisms between non-unital rings are a subcategory (Subcat) of the category of extensible structures, see rnghmsubcsetc 20578. It follows that the category of non-unital rings RngCat is actually a category, see rngccat 20579 with the identity function as identity arrow, see rngcid 20580.

10.3.14.2  The category of (unital) rings The "category of unital rings" RingCat is the category of all (unital) rings Ring in a universe and (unital) ring homomorphisms RingHom between these rings. This category is defined as "category restriction" of the category of extensible structures ExtStrCat, which restricts the objects to (unital) rings and the morphisms to the (unital) ring homomorphisms, while the composition of morphisms is preserved, see df-ringc 20591. Alternately, the category of unital rings could have been defined as extensible structure consisting of three components/slots for the objects, morphisms and composition, see dfringc2 20602. In the following, we omit the predicate "unital", so that "ring" and "ring homomorphism" (without predicate) always mean "unital ring" and "unital ring homomorphism". Since we consider only "small categories" (i.e., categories whose objects and morphisms are actually sets and not proper classes), the objects of the category (i.e. the base set of the category regarded as extensible structure) are a subset of the rings (relativized to a subset or "universe" 𝑢) (𝑢 ∩ Ring), see ringcbas 20595, and the morphisms/arrows are the ring homomorphisms restricted to this subset of the rings ( RingHom ↾ (𝐵 × 𝐵)), see ringchomfval 20596, whereas the composition is the ordinary composition of functions, see ringccofval 20600 and ringcco 20601. By showing that the ring homomorphisms between rings are a subcategory subset (⊆cat) of the mappings between base sets of extensible structures, see rhmsscmap 20604, it can be shown that the ring homomorphisms between rings are a subcategory (Subcat) of the category of extensible structures, see rhmsubcsetc 20607. It follows that the category of rings RingCat is actually a category, see ringccat 20608 with the identity function as identity arrow, see ringcid 20609. Furthermore, it is shown that the ring homomorphisms between rings are a subcategory subset of the non-unital ring homomorphisms between non-unital rings, see rhmsscrnghm 20610, and that the ring homomorphisms between rings are a subcategory of the category of non-unital rings, see rhmsubcrngc 20613. By this, the restriction of the category of non-unital rings to the set of unital ring homomorphisms is the category of unital rings, see rngcresringcat 20614: ((RngCat‘𝑈) ↾cat ( RingHom ↾ (𝐵 × 𝐵))) = (RingCat‘𝑈)). Finally, it is shown that the "natural forgetful functor" from the category of rings into the category of sets is the function which sends each ring to its underlying set (base set) and the morphisms (ring homomorphisms) to mappings of the corresponding base sets, see funcringcsetc 20619.

Generally, we will take 𝑢 to be a weak universe or Grothendieck universe, because these sets have closure properties as good as the real thing. (Contributed by AV, 13-Feb-2020.)
