Line 35: Localizing non-commutative rings is more difficult; the localization does not exist for every set ''S'' of prospective units. One condition which ensures that the localization exists is the [[Ore condition]]. One case for non-commutative rings where localization has a clear interest is for rings of differential operators. It has the interpretation, for example, of adjoining a formal inverse D<sup>-1</sup> for a differentiation operator D. This is done in many contexts in methods for [[differential equation]]s. There is now a large mathematical theory about it, named ''[[microlocalization'']], connecting with numerous other branches. The ''micro-'' tag is to do with connections with Fourier theory, in particular. == See also ==
