In the mathematical discipline known as K-theory, the Milnor ring of a field F, named after John Milnor, is defined [1] as the graded associative ring with unit, generated by symbols (for of degree one, with relations
- ,
One can show that , .
The Milnor ring appears as one side of the Milnor conjecture.
