Nov 27, 2012 at 6:01 comment added Pham Hung Quy In your answer $\mathfrak{m}$ is a minimal ideal but may not be the unique minimal ideal. For example: $A = k[x, y]/(x,y)^3$, $k$ be a field. Let $\mathfrak{m} = (x,y)A$ we have $\mathfrak{m}^2$ is a 3-dimensional $k$-vector space of basis $\{x^2, xy, y^2\}$. Follow your construction we may choose $R = A/(xy, y^2)$. So $R = k[x^3, xy, y^2]$. We can check that $\mathfrak{m}^2 = (x^2)R$ is a minimal ideal of $R$ but not uniquely. Another minimal ideal of $R$ is $(y)R$.
