  2. Maximal ideal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_ideal

    Since a one-sided maximal ideal A is not necessarily two-sided, the quotient R/A is not necessarily a ring, but it is a simple module over R. If R has a unique maximal right ideal, then R is known as a local ring, and the maximal right ideal is also the unique maximal left and unique maximal two-sided ideal of the ring, and is in fact the ...

  3. Zorn's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorn's_lemma

    Finding a maximal ideal in R is the same as finding a maximal element in P. To apply Zorn's lemma, take a chain T in P. If T is empty, then the trivial ideal {0} is an upper bound for T in P. Assume then that T is non-empty. It is necessary to show that T has an upper bound, that is, there exists an ideal I ⊆ R containing all the members of T ...

  4. Regular local ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_local_ring

    Still more generally, if A is a regular local ring, then the formal power series ring A[[x]] is regular local. If Z is the ring of integers and X is an indeterminate, the ring Z[X] (2, X) (i.e. the ring Z[X] localized in the prime ideal (2, X) ) is an example of a 2-dimensional regular local ring which does not contain a field.

  5. Generating set of a module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_set_of_a_module

    For example, the ring R is generated by the identity element 1 as a left R-module over itself. If there is a finite generating set, then a module is said to be finitely generated. This applies to ideals, which are the submodules of the ring itself. In particular, a principal ideal is an ideal that has a generating set consisting of a single ...

  6. Discrete valuation ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_valuation_ring

    R is Noetherian and a local ring whose unique maximal ideal is principal, and not a field. [1] R is integrally closed, Noetherian, and a local ring with Krull dimension one. R is a principal ideal domain with a unique non-zero prime ideal. R is a principal ideal domain with a unique irreducible element (up to multiplication by units).

  7. Spectrum of a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_of_a_ring

    Given a linear operator T on a finite-dimensional vector space V, one can consider the vector space with operator as a module over the polynomial ring in one variable R = K[T], as in the structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain. Then the spectrum of K[T] (as a ring) equals the spectrum of T (as an operator).

  8. Valuation ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valuation_ring

    In abstract algebra, a valuation ring is an integral domain D such that for every non-zero element x of its field of fractions F, at least one of x or x −1 belongs to D.. Given a field F, if D is a subring of F such that either x or x −1 belongs to D for every nonzero x in F, then D is said to be a valuation ring for the field F or a place of F.

  9. System of parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_parameters

    m is a minimal prime over (x 1, ..., x d). The radical of (x 1, ..., x d) is m. Some power of m is contained in (x 1, ..., x d). (x 1, ..., x d) is m-primary. Every local Noetherian ring admits a system of parameters. [1] It is not possible for fewer than d elements to generate an ideal whose radical is m because then the dimension of R would ...
