In mathematics, a rank ring is a ring with a real-valued rank function behaving like the rank of an endomorphism. {{harvs|first=John|last=von Neumann|authorlink=John von Neumann|year=1998}} introduced rank rings in his work on continuous geometry, and showed that the ring associated to a continuous geometry is a rank ring. Definition{{harvs|txt|first=John|last=von Neumann|year=1998|loc=p.231}} defined a ring to be a rank ring if it is regular and has a real-valued rank function R with the following properties:- 0 ≤ R(a) ≤ 1 for all a
- R(a) = 0 if and only if a = 0
- R(1) = 1
- R(ab) ≤ R(a), R(ab) ≤ R(b)
- If e2 = e, f2 = f, ef = fe = 0 then R(e + f) = R(e) + R(f).
