Jan 17, 2017 at 9:12 comment added Jason Starr By the way, the ring $R$ in my previous comment does have the property in the OP's question. An ideal $K$ containing $E$ is contained in no $\mathfrak{p}_a$ precisely if, for every $a$, there exists $f\in E$ with a nonzero term $c x_a^n$ for $c\in k^\times$ and $n\geq 0$. If $K=I+J$ has this property, then let $I'$, resp. $J'$, be generated by those $x_a$ such that $I$, resp. $J$, is contained in $\mathfrak{p}_a$. For every $a$, if $x_a\in I'$, then $x_a\not\in J'$. Thus $I'J' \subset E$. Yet $I+I'$ and $J+J'$ are contained in no $\mathfrak{p}_a$.
Jan 17, 2017 at 9:01 comment added Jason Starr @KevinBuzzard. Here is an example. Begin with the polynomial ring $S=k[x_1,x_2,x_3,\dots]$ in countably many variables. Let $E$ be the ideal generated by $x_ax_b$ for all $1\leq a < b$. Let $R$ be $S/E$. For every prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $S$ that contains $E$, for every $a = 1 ,2 ,\dots$, if $x_a\not\in \mathfrak{p}$, then for every $b\neq a$, $x_b\in \mathfrak{p}$. Thus, the minimal primes over $E$ are of the form $\mathfrak{p}_a= \langle x_b | b\neq a \rangle$. For every $f\in \mathfrak{p}_a$, since $f$ has only finitely many terms, there exists $c>a$ such that $f\in \mathfrak{p}_c$.

Jan 16, 2017 at 19:50 comment added Kevin Buzzard Related: is there a (necessarily non-Noetherian) commutative ring (with 1) with the property that some minimal prime is contained in the union of all the others?
