   Linked via "field structure"

   Polynomial Rings
   Quotient rings of polynomial rings are essential for constructing field extensions, as noted by the requirements for relating roots of polynomials to field structure [5]. If $F$ is a field and $P(x) \in F[x]$ is a non-constant polynomial, the quotient ring:
   $$F[x] / \langle P(x) \rangle$$
   is a field if and only if $P(x)$ is irreducible …

   Subtleties of Multiplicative Inverses
   The presence of multiplicative inverses differentiates fields from general rings. When considering the action of scalars on modules) over a ring, the concept of commensurability arises, wherein two elements are deemed related if one is a scalar multiple of the other, provided the underlying field structure ensures adequate properties related to idempotency 2. While this concept is usu…
