I'm trying to see if the map f:C->Z,f(a+bi)=a is a homomorphism of rings.
Let x=a+bi and y=c+di...then f(x+y)=a+c=f(x)+f(y) but f(xy)=f((ac-db)+(ad+bc)i)=ac-db/= f(x)f(y)...so the map is not a homomorphism of rings.
Is this correct?

Thread 'The colorful world of ##2\times 2## complex matrices'

The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
