... be too difficult to prove the existence of such so-called “maximal ideals” (the rings I have in mind are noetherian rings, for which there is a very well-developed theory). By using Zorn’s Lemma, one can prove by the magic of far-out logic that such an ideal J exists in any nonzero ring R. But if M ...

... Observation 2.15. Nonzero prime ideals are maximal. (Since, for p ∈ Z prime, Z/pZ is a field.) Note that if R is a principal ideal domain, then primes are irreducible. That is, for 0 6= p ∈ R prime, if there were a proper ideal I containing pR then, as R is a PID, there is r ∈ R so that I = rR ⊃ pR. ...

Dimension theory
... Noetherian local ring with the same dimension and A is regular iff A is regular. 11.3.2. Koszul complex. We will use the Koszul complex to prove part of the following well known theorem. Theorem 11.29 (Serre). Suppose that A is a Noetherian local ring. Then the following are equivalent. (1) A is regu ...

Prime ideals
... for any ideal a and subset B. This is an ideal which contains a. Exercise 1.23 (I-M 1.12(iii)). Show that ((a : b) : c) = (a : bc) = ((a : c) : b) Proof of Lemma 1.20. Suppose that a ⊆ A − S is maximal among the ideals disjoint from S. Suppose that bc ∈ a and b ∈ / a. Then we want to show that c ∈ a ...
