Multiplicatively closed subset

From Commalg

Definition

A subset of a commutative unital ring is termed multiplicatively closed if it is multiplicatively a submonoid of the ring not containing zero, i.e. it contains 1 and is closed under the operation of multiplication, and does not contain zero.

Multiplicatively closed subsets are crucial to the notion of localization at a multiplicatively closed subset.
