An example of a ring $R$ with the property that for each $P=Ann_R(r)\in {\rm Min}(R)$ we have $Ann_R(P)=Rr$.

I'm looking for an example of a commutative (preferably local) ring $R$ such that ${\rm dim}R>0$ and $R$ has the property that for each $P=Ann_R(r)\in {\rm Min}(R)$ we have $Ann_R(P)=Rr$. This ...

Open idempotents in modules over a local ring

Let $R$ be a local ring. By an open idempotent I mean an $R$-module $F$ equipped with a homomorphism $e : F \to R$ such that $e \otimes F = F \otimes e$ is an isomorphism $F \otimes F \cong F$ (this ...

Artin approximation theorems over non-regular rings/non-Noetherian rings

In Artin1968 he considers $\underline{analytic}$ equations, but over the ring $R=k\{x_1,..,x_n\}$. In Artin1969 he works with $R=k\{x_1,..,x_n\}/I$, not necessarily regular, but considers $\underline{...

Can a zerodivisor reduce both the depth and the dimension?

In this question $R$ is a commutative noetherian local ring with unity. One can construct examples of rings $R$ and zerodivisors $z$ such that $\dim R/(z)=\dim R-1$, e.g., $S\colon=k[a,b,c],\ \...

Depth zero, high dimension

$\textbf{Question: }$We know that the depth of a noetherian local ring is at most the dimension. Do there exist noetherian local rings with high dimension but zero depth? If not, what's the smallest ...

A particular Isomorphism of graded algebras over a regular local ring

In Hartshorne's "Algebraic Geometry", the following statement is a weaker form of Theorem 8.21A (e), which he quotes from Matsumuura's book on commutative algebra: Proposition. Let $R$ be a regular ...

Elementary proof wanted: every local principal ideal ring is a quotient of a PID

I am looking for a more elementary proof of the following result: Theorem (Hungerford, 1968): Let $R$ be a principal ideal ring. Then $R \cong \prod_{i=1}^n R_i$, where each $R_i$ is a homomorphic ...

prime ideals in regular local rings

Suppose $R$ is a regular local ring. Let $m$ be the maximal ideal. Then, if the dimension of $R$ is $n$, there is a regular sequence of size $n$, say $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ s.t. $m=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)R$. ...

covers of complete regular local rings

It is well-known that if one assumes algebraic closedness and characteristic 0 of the residue field then finite covers of complete DVRs are all of the form $A[x]/(x^m-a)$ for some $a \in A$ (direct ...

How much can we say about the number of nilpotents in a finite local commutative ring?

A commutative ring is local if it has a single maximal ideal. If the ring is finite, this implies that all elements are either units or nilpotents. Further, all finite local rings have prime power ...
