Definition
Suppose that R is a ring, σ:R → R is an injective ring homomorphism, and δ:R → R is a σ-derivation of R, which means that δ is a homomorphism of abelian groups satisfying
Then the Ore extension R is the ring obtained by giving the ring of polynomials R a new multiplication, subject to the identity
If δ = 0 (i.e., is the zero map) then the Ore extension is denoted R and is called a skew polynomial ring. If σ = 1 (i.e., the identity map) then the Ore extension is denoted R and is called a differential polynomial ring.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
