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:
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
