More precisely, we consider a descending filtration of ideals in the ring, and give a basis of its graded quotients. Then by using this fact, we show that the ring of Fricke characters of a free aberian group is an integral domain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-24T07:02:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free abelian groups", "fricke characters", "free aberian group", "integral domain", "graded quotients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.6268H" } } }
