Corollary 44. The primary ideals belonging to the isolated primes in a minimal primary decomposition of \( I \) are uniquely defined by \( I \) .
Proof: Let \( P \) be a minimal element in the set \( \left\{ {{P}_{1},\ldots ,{P}_{m}}\right\} \) of primes belonging to \( I \), and take \( D = R - P \) in Proposition 43. Then \( D \cap {P}_{i} = \varnothing \) only for \( P = {P}_{i} \), so the contraction of the localization of \( I \) at \( D \) is precisely the...

Proposition 45. Let \( R \) be a commutative ring with 1. Then the following are equivalent:\n\n(1) \( R \) is a local ring with unique maximal ideal \( M \)\n\n(2) if \( M \) is the set of elements of \( R \) that are not units, then \( M \) is an ideal\n\n(3) there is a maximal ideal \( M \) of \( R \) such that ever...
Proof: If \( a \in R \) then the ideal \( \left( a\right) \) is either \( R \), in which case \( a \) is a unit, or is a proper ideal, in which case \( \left( a\right) \) is contained in a maximal ideal (Proposition 11 of Section 7.4).

Proposition 46. For any commutative ring \( R \) with 1, let \( {R}_{P} \) be the localization of \( R \) at the prime ideal \( P \) and let \( {}^{e}P \) be the extension of \( P \) to \( {R}_{P} \) . (1) The ring \( {R}_{P} \) is a local ring with unique maximal ideal \( {}^{e}P \) . The contraction of \( {}^{e}P \) ...
Proof: If \( {P}^{\prime } \) is a prime ideal of \( R \), then \( {P}^{\prime } \cap \left( {R - P}\right) = \varnothing \) if and only if \( {P}^{\prime } \subseteq P \) , so (3) is immediate from (3) in Proposition 38, and (4) follows. Since \( {}^{e}P \neq {R}_{P} \) by (2) of Proposition 38, it follows from (3) th...

Proposition 47. Let \( M \) be an \( R \) -module. Then the following are equivalent:\n\n(1) \( M = 0 \) ,\n\n(2) \( {M}_{P} = 0 \) for all prime ideals \( P \) of \( R \), and\n\n(3) \( {M}_{\mathrm{m}} = 0 \) for all maximal ideals \( \mathrm{m} \) of \( R \) .
Proof: The implications (1) implies (2) implies (3) are obvious, so it remains to prove that (3) implies (1). Suppose \( m \) is a nonzero element in \( M \), and consider the annihilator \( I \) of \( m \) in \( R \), i.e., the ideal of elements \( r \in R \) with \( {rm} = 0 \) . Since \( m \) is nonzero \( I \) is a...

Proposition 48. Let \( R \) be an integral domain. Then \( R \) is the intersection of the localizations of \( R : R = { \cap }_{P}{R}_{P} \) . In fact, \( R = { \cap }_{\mathfrak{m}}{R}_{\mathfrak{m}} \) is the intersection of the localizations of \( R \) at the maximal ideals \( \mathfrak{m} \) of \( R \) .
Proof: As mentioned, \( R \subseteq { \cap }_{\mathfrak{m}}{R}_{\mathfrak{m}} \) . Suppose now that \( a \) is an element of the fraction field \( F \) of \( R \) that is contained in \( {R}_{\mathfrak{m}} \) for every maximal ideal \( \mathfrak{m} \) of \( R \), and consider\n\n\[ \n{I}_{a} = \{ d \in R \mid {da} \in ...

Corollary 50. Let \( R \) be a subring of the commutative ring \( S \) with \( 1 \in R \), and assume that \( S \) is integral over \( R \) . If \( P \) is a prime ideal in \( R \), then there is a prime ideal \( Q \) of \( S \) with \( P = Q \cap R \) .
Proof: Let \( D = R - P \) so that \( D \) is a multiplicatively closed subset of both \( R \) and \( S \) . Then the following diagram commutes:\n\n![890496f0-315c-47f0-b859-64c5d8251aa5_734_0.jpg](images/890496f0-315c-47f0-b859-64c5d8251aa5_734_0.jpg)\n\nwhere the vertical maps are inclusions.

Proposition 51. If \( V \) is an affine variety over an algebraically closed field \( k \) then the rational functions on \( V \) that are regular at all points of \( V \) are precisely the polynomial functions \( k\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \) .
Proof: This follows from Proposition 48, which shows that the intersection (in \( k\left( V\right) \) ) of all of the localizations of \( k\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \) at the maximal ideals of \( k\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \) is precisely \( k\left\lbrack V\right\rbrack \) .

Proof: If \( P \) is a prime ideal containing the ideal \( I \) then \( P \) contains rad \( I \) (Exercise 8, Section 2), which implies \( \mathcal{Z}\left( I\right) = \mathcal{Z}\left( {\operatorname{rad}\left( I\right) }\right) \) . Since \( \operatorname{rad}I \) is the intersection of all the prime ideals containi...

Proof: Parts (1), (2) and (7) are left as easy exercises. For (3), observe that, by definition, \( {X}_{{g}_{1}} \cup \cdots \cup {X}_{{g}_{n}} \) consists of the primes \( P \) not containing at least one of \( {g}_{1},\ldots ,{g}_{n} \) .

Proposition 58. Let \( X = \operatorname{Spec}R \) and let \( \mathcal{O} = {\mathcal{O}}_{X} \) be its structure sheaf. The stalk of \( \mathcal{O} \) at the point \( P \in X \) is isomorphic to the localization \( {R}_{P} \) of \( R \) at \( P : {\mathcal{O}}_{P} \cong {R}_{P} \) . In particular, the stalk \( {\mathc...
Proof: If \( \left( {s, U}\right) \) represents an element in the stalk \( {\mathcal{O}}_{P} \), then \( s\left( P\right) \) is an element of the localization \( {R}_{P} \) . By the definition of the direct limit, this element does not depend on the choice of representative \( \left( {s, U}\right) \), and so gives a we...

Proposition 1. Let \( \mathcal{J} \) be the Jacobson radical of the commutative ring \( R \). (1) If \( I \) is a proper ideal of \( R \), then so is \( \left( {I,\mathcal{J}}\right) \), the ideal generated by \( I \) and \( \mathcal{J} \). (2) The Jacobson radical contains the nilradical of \( R \) : rad \( 0 \subsete...
Proof: If \( I \) is a proper ideal in \( R \), then \( I \subseteq M \) for some maximal ideal \( M \). Since \( \mathcal{J} \subseteq M \), also \( \left( {I,\mathcal{J}}\right) \subseteq M \), which proves (1). Part (2) follows from the definitions of the two radicals and Proposition 12 in Section 15.2 since maximal...

Theorem 3. Let \( R \) be an Artinian ring.\n\n(1) There are only finitely many maximal ideals in \( R \) .
Proof: To prove (1), let \( \mathcal{S} \) be the set of all ideals of \( R \) that are the intersection of a finite number of maximal ideals. By Proposition 2, \( \mathcal{S} \) has a minimal element, say \( {M}_{1} \cap {M}_{2} \cap \cdots \cap {M}_{n} \) . Then for any maximal ideal \( M \) we have\n\n\[ M \cap {M}_...
No
Corollary 4. The ring \( R \) is Artinian if and only if \( R \) is Noetherian and has Krull dimension 0.
Proof: The forward implication was proved in Theorem 3. Suppose now that \( R \) is Noetherian and that \( R \) has Krull dimension 0, i.e., that prime ideals of \( R \) are maximal. Since \( R \) is Noetherian, by Corollary 22(3) in Section 15.2, the ideal \( \left( 0\right) = {P}_{1}\cdots {P}_{n} \) is the product o...

Proposition 5. Suppose \( R \) is a Discrete Valuation Ring with respect to the valuation \( v \) , and let \( t \) be any element of \( R \) with \( v\left( t\right) = 1 \) . Then\n\n(1) A nonzero element \( u \in R \) is a unit if and only if \( v\left( u\right) = 0 \) .
\( \textit{Proof: If }u \) is a unit, then \( {uv} = 1 \) for some \( v \in \mathbb{R} \) and then \( v\left( u\right) \mathbf{ + }v\left( v\right) = v\left( {uv}\right) = 1 \) with \( v\left( u\right) \geq 0 \) and \( v\left( v\right) \geq 0 \) shows that \( v\left( u\right) = 0 \) . Conversely, if \( u \) is nonzero ...

Corollary 6. Let \( R \) be a Discrete Valuation Ring.\n\n(1) The ring \( R \) is an integrally closed local ring with unique maximal ideal given by the elements with strictly positive valuation: \( M = \{ r \in R \mid v\left( r\right) > 0\} \) . Every nonzero ideal in \( R \) is of the form \( {M}^{n} \) for some inte...
Proof: Any U.F.D. is integrally closed in its fraction field (Example 3 in Section 15.3), so \( R \) is integrally closed. The remainder of the statements follow immediately from the description of the ideals of \( R \) in Proposition 5.
No
Corollary 8. If \( R \) is any Noetherian, integrally closed, integral domain and \( P \) is a minimal nonzero prime ideal of \( R \), then the localization \( {R}_{P} \) of \( R \) at \( P \) is a Discrete Valuation Ring.
Proof: By results in Section 15.4, the localization \( {R}_{P} \) is a Noetherian (Proposition 38(4)), integrally closed (Proposition 49), integral domain (Proposition 46(2)), that is a local ring with unique nonzero prime ideal (Proposition 46(4)), so \( {R}_{P} \) satisfies (5) in the theorem.
Yes
Proposition 9. Let \( R \) be an integral domain and let \( A \) be a fractional ideal of \( R \). (1) If \( A \) is a nonzero principal fractional ideal then \( A \) is invertible.
Proof: If \( A = {xR} \) is a nonzero principal fractional ideal, then taking \( B = {x}^{-1}R \) shows that \( A \) is invertible, proving (1).
Yes
Proposition 11. Suppose the integral domain \( R \) is a local ring that is not a field. Then \( R \) is a Discrete Valuation Ring if and only if every nonzero fractional ideal of \( R \) is invertible.
Proof: If \( R \) is a D.V.R. with uniformizing parameter \( t \), then by Proposition 5 every nonzero ideal of \( R \) is of the form \( \left( {t}^{n}\right) \) for some \( n \geq 0 \) and every element \( d \) in \( R \) can be written in the form \( u{t}^{m} \) for some unit \( u \in R \) and some \( m \geq 0 \) . ...

Proposition 12. Let \( v \) be a point on the irreducible affine curve \( C \) over \( k \) . Then \( C \) is nonsingular at \( v \) if and only if the local ring \( {\mathcal{O}}_{v, C} \) is a Discrete Valuation Ring.
Proof: Suppose first that \( v \) is nonsingular. Then \( {\dim }_{k}\left( {{\mathfrak{m}}_{v, C}/{\mathfrak{m}}_{v, C}^{2}}\right) = 1 \), and since \( {\mathcal{O}}_{v, C} \) is Noetherian, it follows from Exercise 12 in Section 1 that \( {\mathfrak{m}}_{v, C} \) is principal. Hence \( {\mathcal{O}}_{v, C} \) is a D...
Yes
Corollary 13. An irreducible affine curve \( C \) over an algebraically closed field \( k \) is smooth if and only if its coordinate ring \( k\left\lbrack C\right\rbrack \) is integrally closed.
Proof: The curve \( C \) is smooth if and only if every localization \( {\mathcal{O}}_{v, C} \) is a D.V.R. Since \( k\left\lbrack C\right\rbrack \) has Krull dimension 1 (Exercise 11 in Section 1), the same is true for each \( {\mathcal{O}}_{v, C} \) . It then follows by Theorem 7(5) that every localization \( {\mathc...

(1) Every Principal Ideal Domain is a Dedekind Domain.
Proof: A P.I.D. is clearly Noetherian, is integrally closed since it is a U.F.D. (Example 3, Section 15.3), and nonzero prime ideals are maximal (Proposition 7 in Section 8.2), which proves (1).
Yes
Corollary 16. If \( {\mathcal{O}}_{K} \) is the ring of integers in an algebraic number field \( K \) then every nonzero ideal \( I \) in \( {\mathcal{O}}_{K} \) can be written uniquely as the product of powers of distinct prime ideals:
\[ I = {P}_{1}^{{e}_{1}}{P}_{2}^{{e}_{2}}\cdots {P}_{n}^{{e}_{n}} \] where \( {P}_{1},\ldots ,{P}_{n} \) are distinct prime ideals and \( {e}_{i} \geq 1 \) for \( i = 1,\ldots, n \) .

Proposition 18. (Chinese Remainder Theorem) Suppose \( R \) is a Dedekind Domain, \( {P}_{1},{P}_{2},\ldots ,{P}_{n} \) are distinct prime ideals in \( R \) and \( {a}_{i} \geq 0 \) are integers, \( i = 1,\ldots, n \) . Then\n\n\[ R/{P}_{1}^{{a}_{1}}\cdots {P}_{n}^{{a}_{n}} \cong R/{P}_{1}^{{a}_{1}} \times R/{P}_{2}^{{...
Proof: This is immediate from Theorem 17 in Section 7.6 since the previous proposition shows that the \( {P}_{i}^{{a}_{i}} \) are pairwise comaximal ideals.

Corollary 19. Suppose \( I \) is an ideal in the Dedekind Domain \( R \). Then (1) there is an ideal \( J \) of \( R \) relatively prime to \( I \) such that the product \( {IJ} = \left( a\right) \) is a principal ideal, (2) if \( I \) is nonzero then every ideal in the quotient \( R/I \) is principal; equivalently, if...
Proof: Suppose \( I = {P}_{1}^{{e}_{1}}\cdots {P}_{n}^{{e}_{n}} \) is the prime ideal factorization of \( I \) in \( R \). For each \( i = 1,\ldots, n \), let \( {r}_{i} \) be an element of \( {P}_{i}^{{e}_{i}} - {P}_{i}^{{e}_{i} + 1} \). By the proposition, there is an element \( a \in R \) with \( a \equiv {r}_{i}{\;...
Yes
Corollary 20. If \( R \) is a Dedekind Domain then \( R \) is a P.I.D. (i.e., \( R \) has class number 1) if and only if \( R \) is a U.F.D.
Proof: Every P.I.D. is a U.F.D., so suppose that \( R \) is a U.F.D. and let \( P \) be any prime ideal in \( R \) . Then \( P = {Ra} + {Rb} \) for some \( a \neq 0 \) and \( b \) in \( R \) by Corollary 19. We have \( \left( {a}^{\prime }\right) \subseteq P \) for one of the irreducible factors \( {a}^{\prime } \) of ...

Proposition 21. Let \( R \) be a Dedekind Domain with fraction field \( K \). (1) Suppose \( I \) and \( J \) are two fractional ideals of \( R \). Then \( I \cong J \) as \( R \)-modules if and only if \( I \) and \( J \) differ by a nonzero principal ideal: \( I = \left( a\right) J \) for some \( 0 \neq a \in K \).
Proof: Multiplication by \( 0 \neq a \in K \) gives an \( R \)-module isomorphism from \( J \) to \( \left( a\right) J \), so if \( I = \left( a\right) J \) we have \( I \cong J \) as \( R \)-modules. For the converse, observe that we may assume \( J \neq 0 \) and then \( I \cong J \) implies \( R \cong {J}^{-1}I \). B...

Corollary 23. A finitely generated module over a Dedekind Domain is projective if and only if it is torsion free.
Proof: We showed that a finitely generated torsion free \( R \) -module is projective in the proof of Theorem 22, so by the decomposition of \( M \) in Theorem 22, \( M \) is projective if and only if \( \operatorname{Tor}\left( M\right) \) is projective (cf. Exercise 3 in Section 10.5). To complete the proof it suffic...

Proposition 1. A homomorphism \( \alpha : \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{B} \) of cochain complexes induces group homomorphisms from \( {H}^{n}\left( \mathcal{A}\right) \) to \( {H}^{n}\left( \mathcal{B}\right) \) for \( n \geq 0 \) on their respective cohomology groups.
Proof: It is an easy exercise to show that the commutativity of (4) implies that the images and kernels at each stage of the maps in the first row are mapped to the corresponding images and kernels for the maps in the second row, thus giving a well defined map on the respective quotient (cohomology) groups.

Proof: The existence of the map on the cohomology groups \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{n} \) follows from Proposition 1 applied to the homomorphism of cochain complexes (9). The more difficult part is showing these maps do not depend on the choice of lifts \( {f}_{n} \) in Proposition 4. This is easily seen to be equiva...

Theorem 6. The groups \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{n}\left( {A, D}\right) \) depend only on \( A \) and \( D \), i.e., they are independent of the choice of projective resolution of \( A \) .

For any choice of lifts of the identity map, the resulting homomorphisms on cohomology groups \( {\varphi }_{n} : {\op...

Proof: The left and right nonzero columns of (11) are exact by hypothesis. The modules in the middle column are projective (cf. Exercise 3, Section 10.5) and the row maps are the obvious ones to make each row a split exact sequence. It remains then to define the vertical maps in the middle column in such a way as to ma...

In particular, if \( A \) is a finite abelian group with \( \left( {\left| G\right| ,\left| A\right| }\right) = 1 \) then \...
Proof: This follows since the abelian group \( {H}^{n}\left( {G, A}\right) \) is annihilated by \( \left| G\right| \) by the previous corollary and is annihilated by the exponent of \( A \) by Proposition 20 .

Corollary 35. If \( A \) is a finite abelian group whose order is relatively prime to \( \left| G\right| \) then all complements to \( A \) in any semidirect product \( E = A \rtimes G \) are conjugate in \( E \) .
## Examples\n\n(1) Let \( A = \langle a\rangle \) and \( G = \langle g\rangle \) both be cyclic of order 2 . The group \( G \) must act trivially on \( A \), hence \( A \rtimes G = A \times G \) is a Klein 4-group.

Theorem 39. (Schur’s Theorem) If \( E \) is any finite group containing a normal subgroup \( N \) whose order and index are relatively prime, then \( N \) has a complement in \( E \) .
Proof: We use induction on the order of \( E \) . Since we may assume \( N \neq 1 \), let \( p \) be a prime dividing \( \left| N\right| \) and let \( P \) be a Sylow \( p \) -subgroup of \( N \) .

Proof: If \( \alpha \in K \) then multiplication by \( \alpha \) defines a linear transformation \( {T}_{\alpha } \) of \( K \) viewed as an \( n \) -dimensional vector space over \( F \) . Similarly, every automorphism \( \sigma \in G \) defines an \( F \) -linear transformation \( {T}_{\sigma } \) of \( K \), and we ...

Proof: Let \( V \) be a finitely generated \( {FG} \) -module. As noted above, \( V \) is finite dimensional over \( F \), so we may proceed by induction on its dimension.

Suppose that the present price of the stock is \( S \), that you own an option to buy one share of the stock at a fixed price \( K \), and that the option expires after an additional time \( t \) . If you exercise the option at this moment, you will realize the amount \( S - K \) . However, consider what would t...

Proposition 5.2.2 Let \( C \) be the price of a call option that enables its holder to buy one share of a stock at an exercise price \( K \) at time \( t \) ; also, let \( P \) be the price of a European put option that enables its holder to sell one share of the stock for the amount \( K \) at time \( t \) . Let \( S ...
Proof. If\n\n\[ S + P - C < K{e}^{-{rt}} \]\nthen we can effect a sure win by initially buying one share of the stock, buying one put option, and selling one call option. This initial payout of \( S + P - C \) is borrowed from a bank to be repaid at time \( t \) . Let us now consider the value of our holdings at time \...

Proposition 5.2.3 (The Generalized Law of One Price) Consider two investments, the first of which costs the fixed amount \( {C}_{1} \) and the second the fixed amount \( {C}_{2} \) . If \( {C}_{1} < {C}_{2} \) and the (present value) payoff from the first investment is always at least as large as that from the second i...
The arbitrage is clearly obtained by simultaneously buying investment 1 and selling investment 2.

Proposition 5.2.4 Let \( C\left( {K, t}\right) \) be the cost of a call option on a specified security that has strike price \( K \) and expiration time \( t \). (a) For fixed expiration time \( t, C\left( {K, t}\right) \) is a convex and nonincreasing function of \( K \).
Proof. If \( S\left( t\right) \) denotes the price of the security at time \( t \), then the payoff at time \( t \) from a \( \left( {K, t}\right) \) call option is \[ \text{ payoff of option } = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} S\left( t\right) - K & \text{ if }S\left( t\right) \geq K, \\ 0 & \text{ if }S\left( t\right) < K....

Lemma 7.5.1 Using the representations (7.3) and (7.4), \[ I = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1 & \text{ if }Z > \sigma \sqrt{t} - \omega , \\ 0 & \text{ otherwise,} \end{array}\right. \] where \[ \omega = \frac{{rt} + {\sigma }^{2}t/2 - \log \left( {K/s}\right) }{\sigma \sqrt{t}}. \]
Proof. \[ S\left( t\right) > K \Leftrightarrow \exp \left\{ {\left( {r - {\sigma }^{2}/2}\right) t + \sigma \sqrt{t}Z}\right\} > K/s \] \[ \Leftrightarrow Z > \frac{\log \left( {K/s}\right) - \left( {r - {\sigma }^{2}/2}\right) t}{\sigma \sqrt{t}} \] \[ \Leftrightarrow Z > \sigma \sqrt{t} - \omega \]
