integral element

plural integral elements

1. commutative algebra; ring theory; commutative algebra; ring theoryalgebraGiven a commutative unital ring R with extension ring S (i.e., that is a subring of S), any element s ∈ S that is a root of some monic polynomial with coefficients in R.

   In this paper the notion of the ring of all integral elements of a number field was put in the central place of his^([Richard Dedekind's]) theory.

In a division algebra, the only maximal ring is the ring of integral elements.
