Factorization | Ring theory | Algebraic number theory
In mathematics, a unique factorization domain (UFD) (also sometimes called a factorial ring following the terminology of Bourbaki) is a ring in which a statement analogous to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic holds. Specifically, a UFD is an integral domain (a nontrivial commutative ring in which the product of any two non-zero elements is non-zero) in which every non-zero non-unit element can be written as a product of prime elements (or irreducible elements), uniquely up to order and units. Important examples of UFDs are the integers and polynomial rings in one or more variables with coefficients coming from the integers or from a field. Unique factorization domains appear in the following chain of class inclusions: rngs ⊃ rings ⊃ commutative rings ⊃ integral domains ⊃ integrally closed domains ⊃ GCD domains ⊃ ⊃ principal ideal domains ⊃ Euclidean domains ⊃ fields ⊃ algebraically closed fields (Wikipedia).
Rings and modules 5 Examples of unique factorizations
This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We give some examles to illustrate unique factorization. We use the fact that the Gaussian integers have unique factorization to prove Fermat's theorem about primes that are sums o 2 squares. Then we discuss a few other quadra

Unique factorization and its difficulties I Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 198
The Unique Factorization Theorem is also called the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: the existence and uniqueness of a prime factorization for a natural number n. It is a pillar of number theory, and goes back to Euclid. We want to have a look at the logical structure of this theorem.

Unique factorization and its difficulties II | Data Structures Math Foundations 199
We continue with our discussion of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, which is that any natural number is uniquely factorizable in to primes. But this is not exactly true, at least not if we allow such big numbers as z into our realm of natural numbers! In this video we look at the ac

Abstract Algebra | If D is a UFD then D[x] is a UFD.
We prove an important result that states the ring of polynomials whose coefficients are from a unique factorization domain is itself a unique factorization domain. Along the way, we define the content of a polynomial, prove Gauss' lemma, and prove that if a polynomial factors over the fiel
