Fuzzy commutative algebra (Q2725062)

From the authors' preface: The notion of a fuzzy subset of a set is due to \textit{L. A. Zadeh} [Inf. Control 8, 338-353 (1965; Zbl 0139.24606)]. This seminal paper has opened up new insights and applications in a wide range of scientific fields. A. Rosenfeld used the notion of a fuzzy subset to set down cornerstone papers in several areas of mathematics, among other disciplines. Rosenfeld is the father of fuzzy abstract algebra. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis book is the first to be devoted entirely to fuzzy abstract algebra. The purpose of this book is to give an up to date version of fuzzy commutative algebra. We present a fuzzy ideal theory of commutative rings and apply our results to the solution of fuzzy intersection equations. This treatment includes all the work that has been done on algebraic \(L\)-varieties. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe book includes all the important work that has been done on \(L\)-subspaces of a vector space and on \(L\)-subfields on a field. We focus our attention on the connection between \(L\)-subgroups of a group and \(L\)-subfields of a field. This connection is made in two ways. We present a Galois theory, both finite and infinite, which in the finite case gives a one-to-one inclusion reversing correspondence between finite-valued \(L\)-subgroups of the group of automorphisms of a normal field extension and its \(L\)-subfields. In the infinite case, we give a Galois correspondence between \(L\)-subgroups whose level sets are closed in the Krull topology of the group of automorphisms of a splitting field of a set of separable polynomials over a field. Our second focal point is the connection between \(L\)-subgroups of an Abelian group and \(L\)-subfields of a field constructed by means of a group algebra. We do not give a complete treatise on \(L\)-subgroups. Rather we present results on \(L\)-subgroups which are of interest to the connections discussed above.
