Theorem 0ringbas

Description: The base set of a zero ring, a ring which is not a nonzero ring, is the singleton of the zero element. (Contributed by AV, 17-Apr-2020)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses 0ring.b ⊢ B = Base R
0ring.0 ⊢ 0 ˙ = 0 R
Assertion 0ringbas ⊢ R ∈ Ring ∖ NzRing → B = 0 ˙

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 0ring.b ⊢ B = Base R
2 0ring.0 ⊢ 0 ˙ = 0 R
3 1 2 0ringdif ⊢ R ∈ Ring ∖ NzRing ↔ R ∈ Ring ∧ B = 0 ˙
4 3 simprbi ⊢ R ∈ Ring ∖ NzRing → B = 0 ˙
