| | I'm teaching Graduate Algebra this semester, and I wanted to record here the proof I gave in class of the (existence part of the) structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a PID. It's a standard argument, based on the existence of the Smith Normal Form for a matrix with entries in a PID, but...

| | The Riemann zeta function $latex \zeta(s)$ can be expressed as $latex \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$, for complex numbers s whose real part is greater than 1. By analytic continuation, $latex \zeta(s)$ can be extended to all complex numbers except where $latex s = 1$. The power sum $latex S_a(M)$ is given by $latex S_a(M) =...

| | Last time we defined and gave some examples of rings. Recapping, a ring is a special kind of group with an additional multiplication operation that "plays nicely" with addition. The important thing to remember is that a ring is intended to remind us arithmetic with integers (though not too much: multiplication in a ring need not be commutative). We proved some basic properties, like zero being unique and negation being well-behaved.
