Is primary decomposition still important?
On p.50 of Atiyah and Macdonald's Introduction to Commutative Algebra, in the introduction to the chapter on primary decomposition, it says
In the modern treatment, with its
emphasis on ...

Commutative ring $R$ with no nontrivial idempotents, with a localization $R_r$ with infinitely many idempotents
I am looking for a commutative ring $R$ with $1$ such that $R$ has no idempotents and there exists $r\in R$ such that the localization ring $R_r$ has infinitely many idempotents.

Geometric meaning of localization at $(1+I)$?
Let $I\vartriangleleft A$ be an ideal of a commutative ring. Consider the submonoid $1+I\subset A$. What is the geometric interpretation of localization at this submonoid? How does it relate to the ...

Special submodules over almost Dedekind domains
An integral domain $R$ is an almost Dedekind
domain if for each maximal ideal $m$ of $R$, the ring $R_m$ is a Dedekind
domain, where $R_m$ is the localization of $R$ at $m$.
Question: Let $M$ ...

On "minimal presentation" of local rings essentially of finite type over a field
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring essentially of finite type over $k$ (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/07DR). Then, $R$ is the homomorphic image of ...

Geometric meaning of colocalization of modules?
Let $A$ be a commutative ring and $S\subset A$ a subset. A localization of $A$ at $S$ is defined as a ring morphsim $A\to A[S^{-1}]$ which is initial with respect to inverting $S$. Similarly, a ...

Local cohomology commuting with fiber
Let $A$ be a nice commutative ring (say, $A=k[t_1,\ldots , t_n]$, ring of polynomials over an algebraically closed field $k$).
Let $M$ be an $A[x]$-module, which is finitely generated as an $A$-...

Localization and containment in commutative ring
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $x, y $ be fixed elements of $R$ such that for each maximal ideal $m$ of $R$ we have $\langle \frac{x}{1_m}\rangle\subseteq\langle \frac{y}{1_m}\rangle$ ...

Analytic spread of localization of an ideal
Let $J$ be an ideal in a Noetherian local ring $(R,m)$. It is well known that for any prime ideal $p\in Spec(R)$, $l(J_p)\leq l(J)$, where $l(J)$ is the analytic spread of $J$.
Q) Are there ...
