When do all ring homomorphisms depend on only one co-ordinate?

From MaRDI portal





Let R be a (unital) ring and let \(\alpha\) be a cardinal. We investigate, under which conditions every ring homomorphism \(f: \prod_{\xi <\alpha}S_{\xi}\to R\) depends on only one co-ordinate for arbitrary families \((S_{\xi})_{\xi <\alpha}\) of rings. If \(\alpha\) is Ulam- measurable, then no ring has this property. If \(\alpha\) is infinite, but not Ulam-measurable, then \({\mathbb{R}}\) does have this property, but \({\mathbb{C}}\) does not.
