Jun 8, 2016 at 9:57 comment added znt ...but $xy$ is in the square of the maximal ideal...
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:57 comment added Ilya Bogdanov $x^3y=0$, so $xy$ is a nilpotent in $B$...
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:55 comment added znt Even stronger -- does $B$ contain any non-zero nilpotent element which is in the maximal ideal but not its square?
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:53 comment added Ilya Bogdanov Does $B$ contain any non-zero nilpotent element?
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:39 comment added Neil Strickland @znt If I did this correctly (using Maple) then these dimensions are the same for $n\leq 12$. More precisely, if we use a pure lexicographic term order with $y<x<u$ then the Grobner bases for $A/\mathfrak{m}^n$ and $B/\mathfrak{m}^n$ have the same leading terms.
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:25 comment added znt To try and prove they're not isomorphic I might grit my teeth (or pull out a computer algebra package) and compute the dimension of $A/m^n$ and $B/m^n$ for the first few values of $n$, where here $m$ is the maximal ideal $(x,y,u)$.
Jun 8, 2016 at 9:23 comment added znt @Daniel Larsson -- it's not clear that the isomorphism is supposed to send $y$ to $y$. Otoniel Silva -- there are definitely morphisms in each direction because you can just send all the variables to zero.
Jun 8, 2016 at 7:15 comment added Daniel Larsson In $A$ $y$ is a zero-divisor but not in $B$?
