COMMENT

Here a ring means (R,+,*): (R,+) is abelian group, * is associative, a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c, (a+b)*c = a*c+b*c. Need not contain "1", * need not be commutative.

The paper by Antipkin/Elizarov also gives the number a(p^3) of rings of order p^3. - Hans H. Storrer (storrer(AT)math.unizh.ch), Sep 16 2003

If n is a squared prime, there are 11 mutually nonisomorphic rings of order n [see Raghavendran]. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 20 2008

"This completes the discussion and we see that there are in all 3+2+2+3+1=11 mutually nonisomorphic rings of order p^2" [Raghavendran, p. 228] - R. J. Mathar, Apr 17 2008
