Commutative algebra Assignment

April 2025

1. Give an example to show that converse of Nakayama’s Lemma does not


hold if module is not finitely generated. Justify your answer.

2. Show that the zero ideal in the ring C[0, 1] of all continuous real-valued
functions defined on the closed interval [0, 1] is not decomposable, that is,
it does not have a primary decomposition.
3. Let R be a principal ideal domain which is not a field. Let G be an R-
module. Show that G has finite length if and only if G is finitely generated
and there exists r ∈ R with r ̸= 0 such that rG = 0.
4. Let (R, m) be a Noetherian local ring and M be a R-module. Then M
is of finite length if and only if M is finitely generated and mn M = 0 for
some n.

5. Let (R, m) be a Noetherian local ring and M be a R-module such that M


R
is of finite length. Then show that ℓR (M ) = dimk (M ), where m = k.
6. Assume that (A, m) is a local ring and that a ⊆ m. Show that the following
conditions are equivalent:

(a) a is m-primary.
(b) mn ⊆ a for some n ≥ 1.
(c) A/an is of finite length for every n ≥ 1.
(d) A/an is of finite length for some n ≥ 1.
(e) m is the only prime ideal containing a.

7. Show that if annM = 0, then dim M/aM = dim A/a.


8. Suppose a + annM ⊆ p. Show then that ann(M/aM ) ⊆ p.
9. Give an example of a non-zero module that has no associated primes.
Jusify your answer.

10. If R is an integral domain with dim R < ∞ then show that dim(R/I) <
dim R for every nonzero ideal I of R. Give an example to show that this
need not be the case if R is not an integral domain.
11. Let Let 
A = k[X1 , . . . , Xr ] (F )
be a graded ring, where the polynomial ring k[X1 , . . . , Xr ] carries the usual
grading by total degree and F is a homogeneous polynomial of degree
d ≥ 1. Determine the Hilbert polynomial of A.
12. Let A be a Noetherian ring, let M be a finitely generated A-module, let k
be a field, and let X, X1 , . . . , Xn be indeterminates. Consider the following
exercises:

(a) Show that if A is a principal ideal domain (PID), then dim A ≤ 1.


(b) Show that in a Noetherian ring, prime ideals satisfy the descending
chain condition.
(c) Show that
dim k[[X1 , . . . , Xn ]] = n,
where k[[X1 , . . . , Xn ]] denotes the formal power series ring over k.
(d) Suppose A has only finitely many prime ideals of height one. Show
that Spec A is finite and dim A ≤ 1.
(e) Show that if
p0 ⊊ p1 ⊊ p2
is a chain of prime ideals in A, then there are infinitely many prime
ideals strictly between p0 and p2 .
(f) Show that if A is local and has a principal prime ideal of height one,
then A is an integral domain.

13. Let k be a field and R = k[x]. Consider the R-module


M
M = Rx / R = k · x−i ,
i>0

With this k-vector space structure, the action is given by multiplication in


the obvious way, then killing any nonnegative degree terms. On one hand,
we claim that Supp(M ) = {(x)}. Check whether Supp(M ) = V (annM ).
