Tips

To help maintain the quality of content and integrity of the database, please keep these points in mind:

  • We might not accept every suggestion.
  • Did you check the database to see if your ring example or property is already there? (Accidents will happen and we can deal with it, but it's best to avoid that altogether.)
  • It is really important to have good citations! (Incorrect proofs and claims exist, unfortunately.)
  • Multiple high-quality citations are helpful. (Readers will have more places to look.)

People who have contributed!

Recorded here are the larger community contributions which have benefited the site (in no particular order):

  • During the summer 2022, Helena Read and Guillermo Segura Picon, two students of Jeremy Rickard, contributed much material as part of an undergraduate research project. Their work resulted in the clarification of hundreds of ring-property relationships, a handful of new logic entries, and indirectly leading to the addition of ring 134 (due to Pace Nielsen). The ring is significant because it resolves an open (so far as we know) question about whether or not UGP is left-right symmetric.
