Infinite products do not make sense (there is no way to define them) unless there is a notion of limit (e.g. metric spaces/topological spaces/topological groups etc.). In particular, groups and rings do not have a notion of limit, so infinite products do not make sense, and so there is no need to say

Somebody (not myself) has noted that there is a mistake in the 'Non-examples' section concerning quadratic integer rings and Heegner numbers, however they noted this in parentheses in the article. I have added a clarification tag and am also mentioning it here on the talk page. If anybody in the know
2295:
Well, mathematically spending, I view the “nonzero ring” requirement is a key assumption; it is equivalent to saying the zero ideal is proper and “proper” is an important part of the definition of a prime ideal. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the leading paragraph is often quoted like by Google and

I've recently had some trouble with edit warring myself, so this is me trying to do a good deed and help out here. I agree with Joel's edit removing "non-zero". It's the lead of a different article and is just serving to remind people what an integral domain is; we don't need to get pedantic about
2310:
I have also rephrased the definition to avoid ambiguity that a product there might be infinite. (Saying “a product of some things” always leaves a possibility of infinite product). Mathematically, a good definition is “a commutative ring in which a product of a finite number of nonzero elements is

Good point, and I guess that's the answer to my question, but why does the factorization have to be finite? I know that's the way the article is worded, and that's the standard definition in the literature (I just looked at Lang's book) but what's wrong with requiring just a bijection between the
498:
Actually, I believe it is unknown whether there there are infinitely many quadratic rings of algebraic integers which are UFDs. It is known that there are only infinitely many such rings for d negative. In fact, there are only finitely may such negative d for which the ring of integers is half
318:
Sorry, this post is about two months late, but I can answer for completeness of this section. In the integral domain article under the heading "Divisibility, prime and irreducible elements" you can find a detailed definition of what a prime element is. 'Prime numbers' and 'prime elements of an
412:, which was described as a non-UFD. It is a UFD. With this correction, however, the exposition is awkward. It claims that most factor rings are not UFD's and then gives an example of one which is a UFD. Perhaps someone should write up a nice (and correct) counterexample. 1124:
Assuming that my suspicion that there is no such definition of degree that works in the general case is correct, the proof can be fixed without too much trouble (and if my suspicion is incorrect, I think it would be a good idea to clarify what is meant by degree): If
677:
So you want unique factorization to mean that each element (up to associates) is uniquely determined by the powers of irreducibles that divide it? That's an interesting idea, and one I haven't seen before. (of course, it has no place on WP until someone publishes it)
2226:
edge cases. If you really have to point this out, "nontrivial" would probably be best. The latest "1≠0" (needs spaces anyway) is unfortunately probably worse since it will just look utterly baffling to someone who doesn't understand what the shorthand refers to. –

by the following (not necessarily exhaustive) chain" suggests that there is only one class of rings properly between integral domains and principal ideal domains and that that is the class of UFDs. But that's quite untrue, consider for example the natural class of
487:
It's some time I have been out of school, but I heard there is only a finite number of rings of the form { a+b sqrt(d) | a,b integers} (real quadratic ring extensions I think is the term), which are also unique factorization domains. Is it true?
207:
Why is this significant? \sin \left( \pi \,z \right) =\sin \left( \pi \,z \right) significant? It seems to me when a zero gets in the product the whole this will become zero. The zero will happen when z and n are equal, 1-z^2/z^2.

factorial--i.e. given two irreducible factorizations of any element, say x_1 x_2...x_n = y_1 y_2...y_m, then n=m (Carlitz's theorem states that any ring of algebraic integers is an HFD if and only if the class number is at most 2).
319:
integral domain' are not the same thing. You can think of prime elements as a generalization of the idea of prime numbers to any integral domain. Indeed, prime numbers are prime elements of the ring of integers.
596:
1 isn't an irreducible, it's a unit. The statement of factorization into irreducibles either explicitly excludes units (as in the article) or allows units as associates of the empty product of irreducibles (1).
2296:
such; thus, the accuracy is rather important: when Knowledge is accused for an inaccuracy, that accusation often refers to the leading section. I think “nontrivial” can work here (will make that change). —-
535:
Added the following two properties of UFDs (both of which are well-known): Any UFD is integrally closed, and a domain R is a UFD if and only if every nonzero prime ideal of R has a nonzero prime element.
140: 465:
Let R be any commutative ring. Then R/(XY-ZW) is not a UFD. It is clear that X, Y, Z, and W are all irreducibles, so the element XY=ZW has two factorizations into irreducible elements.
799:
I suppose it's supposed to mean there are interesting classes of rings it could contain but doesn't. For example, you could have Noetherian domains between integral domains and UFDs.
307:
I'm sorry but I still feel the redirection of UF to UFD without explaining the simple concept of UF (which the user was expecting when they clicked on/searched for UF) is an error.
1017: 468:
This proof is incorrect. (Though, the statement is true). X,Y,Z,W are irreducible in R, but one has to prove that X+R(XY-ZW) is irreducible in R/(XY-ZW), which is more difficult.

Is it correct, that the formal power series over a field (or even a PID) constitute a UFD? I mean, the holomorphic functions can be regarded as a subring of C

I also reverted the statement about the uniqueness of the expression, since it is simply wrong that the p's are a permutation of the q's: 2*4 = (-2) * (-4).

I removed the non-example, because the previous one wasn't a ring, so there is no hope that it could ever be a UFD.
