Definition

Let $\Sigma$ be a system of sets.

Formulation 1

$\Sigma$ satisfies the $\sigma$-ring axioms if and only if:

\((\text {SR} 1)\)   $:$   Empty Set:    \(\ds \O \in \Sigma \)      
\((\text {SR} 2)\)   $:$   Closure under Set Difference:      \(\ds \forall A, B \in \Sigma:\) \(\ds A \setminus B \in \Sigma \)      
\((\text {SR} 3)\)   $:$   Closure under Countable Unions:      \(\ds \forall A_n \in \Sigma: n = 1, 2, \ldots:\) \(\ds \bigcup_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty A_n \in \Sigma \)      

Formulation 2

$\Sigma$ satisfies the $\sigma$-ring axioms if and only if:

\((\text {SR} 1')\)   $:$   Empty Set:    \(\ds \O \in \Sigma \)      
\((\text {SR} 2')\)   $:$   Closure under Set Difference:      \(\ds \forall A, B \in \Sigma:\) \(\ds A \setminus B \in \Sigma \)      
\((\text {SR} 3')\)   $:$   Closure under Countable Disjoint Unions:      \(\ds \forall A_n \in \Sigma: n = 1, 2, \ldots:\) \(\ds \bigsqcup_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty A_n \in \Sigma \)
