Abstract

‎Let $M(X‎, ‎\mathcal{A}‎, ‎\mu)$ be the ring of real-valued measurable functions‎ ‎on a measure space $(X‎, ‎\mathcal{A}‎, ‎\mu)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we characterize the maximal ideals in the rings of real measurable functions‎ ‎and as a consequence‎, ‎we determine when $M(X‎, ‎\mathcal{A}‎, ‎\mu)$ is a hereditary ring.
