Description
This text brings the reader to the frontiers of current research in topological rings. The exercises illustrate many results and theorems
while a comprehensive bibliography is also included.
The book is aimed at those readers acquainted with some very basic point-set topology
and algebra, as normally presented in semester courses at the beginning graduate level or even at the advanced undergraduate level. Familiarity
with Hausdorff, metric, compact and locally compact spaces and basic properties of continuous functions, also with groups, rings, fields,
vector spaces and modules, and with Zorn's Lemma, is also expected.
