Finding if an ideal is the radical of another one

Let's suppose we have, in the ring $\mathbb{Z} [x,y,z,w,v]$, the following polynomials: $f=xw-yz$, $g=x^2z-y^3$, $h=yw^2-z^3$, $k=xz^2-y^2w$. The question is to prove that $I=(f,g,h,k)$ is the radical ...

When $\langle u,v,w \rangle$ is a maximal ideal in $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$?

Let $u,v,w \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ and let $\langle u,v,w \rangle$ be the ideal generated by $u,v,w$. It is known that for two elements the following result holds: $\langle u,v \rangle$ is a maximal ...

If $(f,g)$ and $(f,h)$ are maximal ideals, then $ag+bh=P(f)$ for some $a,b \in k, P(t) \in k[t]$?

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, for example $k=\mathbb{C}$. Let $f,g,h \in k[x,y]$, $g \neq h$, satisfy the following two conditions: (1) $(f,g)$ is a maximal ideal of ...

$k(F_i)_{i=1}^{n}=k(G_j)_{j=1}^{m}$ iff there exist $a_i,b_j \in k$ such that $\langle F_i-a_i \rangle_{i=1}^{n} = \langle G_j-b_j \rangle_{j=1}^{m}$

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, for example $k=\mathbb{C}$ and let $F_1,\ldots,F_n,G_1,\ldots,G_m \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$, $n,m \in \mathbb{N}-\{0\}$. Claim: $\mathbb{C}(...

Ideals: If $\langle f_1,f_2 \rangle = \langle g_1,g_2 \rangle$, then $\langle f_1-\lambda,f_2-\mu \rangle = \langle g_1-\delta,g_2-\epsilon \rangle$?

The following question appears in MSE without answers. Let $f_1,f_2,g_1,g_2 \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]-\mathbb{C}$. Assume that $\langle f_1,f_2 \rangle = \langle g_1,g_2 \rangle \subsetneq \mathbb{C}[x,y]$, ...

$\mathbb{C}(u(x,y),v(x,y),f(x)+g(y))=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$ implies $\mathbb{C}(u(x,y),v(x,y))=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$?

The following question is a direct continuation of this question: Let $u,v \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$. Assume that for every $f \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ and every $g \in \mathbb{C}[y]$ (excluding the cases where $...

Intersecting a ideal generated in degree $\leq a$ with one generated in degree $\leq b$ in a polynomial ring

Question 1. Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field $k$. Assume that $R$ is graded in the usual way (i.e., each variable has degree $1$). Let $I$ and $J$ be two ideals of $R$ such that $I$ is ...

Do relatively prime polynomials $f$ and $g$ in $k[x,y]$ generate an ideal of finite codimension?

Let $k$ be a field and $f,g \in k[x,y]$ be two non-constant polynomials in two variables. Is it true that the following conditions are equivalent: $f$ and $g$ are relatively prime in $k[x,y]$, in the ...

An ideal invariant under an automorphism

The following question appears here; hopefully, it is appropriate for MO. Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $\beta: k[x,y] \to k[x,y]$ be the following involution $\beta: (x,y) \...

Finding a characteristic for which the zero-locus of an ideal is not empty

I have a set of polynomials $f_1, \dots, f_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ and I am interested in finding if these polynomials have a common root inside either $\mathbb{C}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ or $\...

Intersections of ideals in polynomial rings with countably many variables

Fix a field $k$ and let $R = k[x_1,x_2,\ldots]$. Say that an ideal $I \subset R$ is generated in finite degree if there exists a generating set $S$ for $I$ (possibly infinite) and an integer $n$ such ...

Ideal generated by two univariate, coprime, integer polynomials

Let $f(x)$, $g(x)$ be two univariate, coprime, integer polynomials and let $I=\big(f(x),g(x)\big)$ the ideal of $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ generated by $f, g$. Let $I \cap \mathbb{Z}$, that is, the elements of $\...
