Does $operatorname{Ann}(d) = operatorname{Ann}(b)$ together with $d in operatorname{Rad}(bR)$ imply $d in...

$DeclareMathOperator{Ann}{Ann}DeclareMathOperator{Rad}{Rad}$Let $R$ be a noetherian, reduced ring which is not an integral domain (and may also not be factorial).




Let $P$ be a minimal prime of $R$. Is it possible to find $b in R$ with $P = Ann(b)$ and $bR$ radical?




What I tried: Consider a non-zero element $d in Rad(bR)$. By assumption we have $Ann(d) subseteq Ann(b) = P$ since $P$ is prime and $d neq 0$. Moreover, since $R$ is reduced, we obtain equality, i.e. $Ann(d) = Ann(b) = P$. But I don't know how to proceed from here on.



Note that we may change $b in R$ in any way that preserves $Ann(b) = P$. We may also assume (if necessary) that $R$ is finite free over some principal ideal domain (since the original motivation is from geometry where I consider a projective curve lying finitely over the projective line).



I am grateful for any kind of help.





Edit: I edited the question since it wasn't clear what I meant.





This question is related to the following: Is $R/bR$ reduced if $R$ is reduced and $operatorname{Ann}(b)$ is a minimal prime of $R$?

    Isn't this just a rephrasing of the previous question? ($d in text{Rad}(bR)$ implies $d in bR$) if and only if ($R/bR$ is reduced).

  • Your question appears to have been answered in your link. What is different between these two questions? (Aside from $R$ isn't an integral domain here, which is hardly a restriction) Take $k[x,y]/(xy)$, then $Ann(x^2)=(y)$, which is a minimal prime, but $(x^2)$ is not radical.

  • @jgon The question comprises whether it is always possible to choose $b in R$ such that $bR$ is radical. In your example, $(x)$ is radical.

  • @windsheaf That's not what this question says. Nowhere in this question does it even imply that that's what you're asking. I'm then a bit confused about what you're asking, are you asking if every reduced noetherian ring has a principal radical ideal? Please edit and clarify
