In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as ring theory, an Ore extension, named after Oystein Ore, is a special type of a ring extension whose properties are relatively well understood. Ore extensions appear in several natural contexts, including skew and differential polynomial rings, group algebras of polycyclic groups, enveloping algebras of solvable Lie algebras, and coordinate rings of quantum groups.

Famous quotes containing the word extension:
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
