Is the span of all nilpotent ideals also a nilpotent ideal?
Given a non-zero Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we define $\mathcal{L}^2 = \big[\mathcal{L}, \mathcal{L} \big] = \big\{ [x, y]: x, y\in \mathcal{L} \big\}$, and for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ ...

Inverse of the Structure Theorem for Finitely Generated Modules over PID
We know that for a PID $R$, any finitely generated module is of the form $\frac{R}{(a_1)} \oplus \dots \oplus \frac{R}{(a_s)} $.
I was wondering if the converse of this statement is true, that is, is ...
