Ideals - Columbia Math
... Next we turn to a very general construction of ideals, which is an analogue of the definition of a cyclic subgroup: Definition 1.10. Let R be a ring and let r ∈ R. The principal ideal generated by r, denoted (r), is the set {sr : s ∈ R}. Thus (r) is the set of all multiples of r. Proposition 1.11. T ...

... Now Zp has a topology given by the inverse limit when considering each Z/pn Z to have the discrete topology. We can describe this topology explicitly as follows. A base of neighborhoods about zero is {pn Zp }n∈N . These sets, actually ideals, are just the sets of p-adic numbers whose first n entries ...

Then the LCD is the product formed by using each of the different factors the greatest number of times that it occurs in any one of the given denominators ...

... • If b is a nonzero divisor of a, then the (unique) integer q with a = qb is called the quotient a over b and denoted by a/b. If b is a divisor of a, we also say that b divides a, or a is a multiple of b, or a is divisible by b. We write this as b | a. Suppose that a is an integer. If a is nonzero, ...

... The next two properties require a bit more effort. (8) If k is an infinite field, then I(An ) = {0}; (9) If x = (a1 , . . . , an ) ∈ An , then I({x}) = (X1 − a1 , . . . , Xn − an ). Property (8) holds for n = 1 since a nonconstant polynomial in one variable has only finitely many zeros. Thus f = 0 impl ...
