Ring Homomorphisms

Definition of Ring Homomorphisms

Let R and S be rings, and phi : R -> S.

Variables R S : CRing.

Section RingHom_Preliminary.

Variable phi : CSetoid_fun R S.

Definition fun_pres_plus := forall x y:R, phi (x[+]y) [=] (phi x) [+] (phi y).
Definition fun_pres_mult := forall x y:R, phi (x[*]y) [=] (phi x) [*] (phi y).
Definition fun_pres_unit := (phi (1:R)) [=] (1:S).
