When should we use `\frak{...}` in LaTeX

I saw in a note that when writing a paper some notations must be written by \frak{ }, in LaTeX, I want to know what the meaning of some notations is, and where I can find a source for these types of points of writing? For example, if $R$ is a local ring we write it's maximal ideal as $\frak {m}$
