On the other hand, there are many examples of ideals in generic matrix rings, for example, which are not so generated, 2 and 7. If i is an ideal in a commutative ring r, the powers of i form topological neighborhoods of 0 which allow r to be viewed as a topological ring. Throughout this page, rings are assumed to be commutative. We shall use this property heavily in subsequent discussion. I have one problem in following arguments given in mastumutas ring theory.

A commutative artinian ring has finitely many maximal ideals, hence v is semilocal, and b is semilocal. Thus, it will also have finitely many prime ideals, i. The jacobson radical of an artinian ring is the product of its finite collection of maximal ideals and is a nilpotent ideal. Finite direct products of artinian modules or rings are artinian.
When r is a commutative ring, the converse implication is also true, and so the definition of semilocal for commutative rings is often taken to be having finitely many maximal ideals. The product of the maximal ideals is contained in their intersection, and is 0. Are there only finite many maximal left ideals for a left artinian ring.

Let abe a noetherian local ring whose maximal ideal m is nilpotent, say mn 0 for some n1. It is known that the maximal ideals of finitely generated pialgebras over commutative noetherian rings are finitely generated as ideals 5. The ring of formal power series over a field or over any local ring is local. Any ring with finitely many maximal ideals and locally nilpotent jacobson radical is the product of its localizations at its maximal ideals. One proof is by considering finite intersections of maximal ideals, and a chain from it, then using artinian property of ring and some lemma. If r is an artinian ring, then every prime ideal of is maximal.
A commutative ring with a unit that has a unique maximal ideal. In all the proofs above the assumption that a has an identity was only used to obtain the existence of maximal ideals. Let be the maximal ideals of then, by the chinese remainder theorem, so, since each is a field and, and hence artinian, would also be artinian, contradicting problem 1. Thus, as a ring, zp1 is artinian but not noetherian. Notice if r is a simple ring and m is a maximal left ideal of r, then m. After investigating a few properties which hold in such rings we are able to establish in theorem 3 that a dicc ring is either noetherian or a direct product of an artinian ring, and a ring s with not prime both minimal and maximal. In abstract algebra, an artinian ring sometimes artin ring is a ring that satisfies the descending chain condition on ideals. If r has only finitely many nonprincipal maximal ideals, then r is of finite character. Suppose, to the contrary, that the set of maximal ideals of is finite. The above definition is satisfied if r has a finite number of maximal right ideals and finite number of maximal left ideals.
Artinian rings are named after emil artin, who first discovered that the descending chain condition for ideals simultaneously generalizes finite rings and rings that are finitedimensional vector spaces over fields. Polynomial rings have infinitely many maximal ideals. Note that for distinct maximal ideals, m 1m 2m k 6. Any artinian ring decomposes uniquely up to isomorphism as a direct product of nitely many local artinian rings. By definition, a lasker ring is a commutative ring in which any ideal has a primary decomposition which is to say that its the intersection of finitely many primary ideals. Pdf given a commutative ring r, we investigate the structure of the set of artinian subrings of r.
It is known that artinian commutative ring has finitely many maximal ideals. Section 4 gives a characterization of those rings which admit an artinian. The jacobson radical of is nilpotent, hence there exists an integer such that thus, by the chinese remainder theorem for commutative rings, since each is a local ring, with the unique maximal ideal it has only two idempotents, by problem 1, and so has exactly. Thus, since is being assumed radical, we have, where is the finite list of pairwise distinct maximal ideals.
A noetherian ring has only a finite number of minimal prime ideals. We will use zorns lemma on the set of proper ideals. Consider the set of infinitely generated ideals in r, and show that the union of an ascending chain of ideals in this set cannot be finitely. In fact the converse is true, in fact with a great deal of redundancy. Main results it is well known that if r c s are rings rings in this paper have units but need not be commutative such that s is finitely generated as a left rmodule, then s is noetherian or artinian if r is. Let r be a commutative ring with identity, and let i r be an ideal. An artinian ring has finitely many maximal ideals, hence v is semilocal, and b is semilocal. Artinian rings have nitely many primes and all primes are maximal. We define the ring as the real polynomials in infinitely many variables, i.
Suppose a is a commutative local noetherian ring, with nilpotent maximal ideal m. If is a local ring with maximal ideal, then the quotient ring is a field, called the residue field of examples of local rings. Local rings, the structure of an artinian ring a finite product of maximal ideals we know that artinian implies noetherian, but in some cases we can infer the converse. In other words, a generalization of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic holds in such rings. Equivalently, any ideal is generated by finitely many elements, or. Assume r a 1 a l and each a i is a local ring with maximal ideal a i. Are there only finite many maximal left ideals for a left. By nilpotence of m, we have a nite descending chain of ideals fmjg.
In particular, it is proved that if a semisimple ring r has only finitely many maximal subrings, then every descending chain. Commutative algebragenerators and chain conditions. Decomposing the semilocal ring if b is a semilocal ring, mod out by its jacobson radical, so that b becomes jacobson semisimple. Pdf commutative rings with infinitely many maximal subrings. Thus a is maximal precisely when it is a maximal element in the set of proper left ideals of r, ordered by inclusion. Note that is an artinian ring and, hence, has only finitely many prime necessarily maximal ideals. Abstract algebra and discrete mathematics, noetherian and. Thus annm is contained in only finitely many maximal ideals of r. Of course, semisimple artinian rings may be characterized by saying only that each of their left modules is a direct sum of simple modules. The existence of only finitely many nonprincipal maximal ideals respectively unique nonprincipal maximal ideal forces the ring to be of finite character respectively an hlocal ring, as we now show. Existence of this decomposition is given in the proof of theorem 1. Does an artinian ring have only finitely many maximal left. Abstract algebra and discrete mathematics, the jacobson.
We show that if all the prime ideals minimal over are finitely generated, then there are only finitely many prime ideals minimal over. On the other hand, the polynomial ring with is not local. The ring of polynomials in infinitelymany variables, x1, x2, x3, etc. Therefore, r has only finitely many maximal ideals, i. Artinian ring, seminormal, subintegral, support of a module. A module of finite type is one whose endomorphism ring has finitely many maximal right ideals, all of which twosided. R 0 r where each r i is a maximal subring of r i1, i. Using the method above, or any other means, assume b is a semilocal ring, and mod out by its jacobson radical, so that b becomes jacobson semisimple.
