I am trying to get an idea about how to classify rings based on the various properties they can have. In this regard, I am stumped by the question of whether there exist rings which are:
Case 1) Non-commutative and have no-zero divisors: I know that Z and Z_p (p prime) have no zero divisors, but they are commutative. The only non-commutative rings I can really think of are matrices, but they can have zero divisors. (In fact, I've tried to either consider subrings of matrices which might not have zero divisors or construct various rings based on vectors, like a ring whose elements are vectors in R^2 or R^3, where + is the typical componentwise addition and * is either a dot or cross-product. While the cross product, is non- commutative, it still has zero divisors). My guess is that these types of structures exist though, but I just don't know enough examples of rings to identify one that satisfies these conditions. Case 2) Have unit elements, but are nor groups under *, not commutative, and have no-zero divisors: No clues as to if this could even exist. These conditions seem very restrictive and I have to wonder if this type of structure even exists.
