ではありません (not just ありません) is the polite form of じゃない/ではない.
じゃない is made of じゃ+ない, and じゃ is the collapsed form of では, the auxiliary verb で (the dictionary form is だ) + the binding particle は.
ありません is the polite form (丁寧語) of ない.
You can use じゃない, ではない and ではありません interchangeably when you use it at the end of a sentence. じゃない sounds more casual than ではない, and ではありません sounds politer than ではない.
