Exponential characteristic #
This file defines the exponential characteristic, which is defined to be 1 for a ring with characteristic 0 and the same as the ordinary characteristic, if the ordinary characteristic is prime. This concept is useful to simplify some theorem statements. This file establishes a few basic results relating it to the (ordinary characteristic). The definition is stated for a semiring, but the actual results are for nontrivial rings (as far as exponential characteristic one is concerned), respectively a ring without zero-divisors (for prime characteristic).
