A prime ideal in a polynomial ring whose intersection with the base ring is zero

$begingroup$


It seems very straightforward but I can't prove or disprove this statement :



Let $R $ be an integral domain and $P $ be a prime ideal of $R [x] $ such that $P cap R $ is zero. Then $P$ must be principal? Or is there any counterexamples?



What about $R $ is UFD?



Approach : we can localize $R [x] $ using $R^{times} $, then $P $ coincides with the prime ideal in this localized ring, that is, $K[x] $ where $K $ is a field of fraction of $R $. So in this ring, corresponding prime ideal is principal, but it seems not give a nice information.

    When $R$ is a UFD I think it's easy enough to show that $P$ is principal generated by the irreducible primitive generator of its image in $K[X]$. (Use Gauss Lemma.)

An answer to your question is given in Sharma, P.K., A note on Ideals in Polynomial Rings, Arch. Math. 37 (1981), 325-329.



The main theorem of the article is




Theorem 1: Let $R[x]$ be a polynomial ring over an integral domain $R$ and let $Pneq 0$ be a prime ideal in $R[x]$ such that $Pcap R=0$. Let
$$varphi(X)=a_{0}X^{d}+a_{1}X^{d-1}+ldots+a_{d-1}X+a_{d}$$
be a polynomial of least positive degree in $P$. Then $P=(varphi(X))$ if and only if there does not exist $tnotin (a_{0})$ such that $ta_{i}in (a_{0})$ for $1leq ileq d$.




One of the corollaries of the article is




Corollary 1: Let $R$ be a unique factorization domain or a valuation ring and $Pneq 0$ a prime ideal in $R[x]$ with $Pcap R=0$. Then there exists an irreducible polynomial $varphi(X)$ with least positive degree among non-zero elements of $P$ such that $P=(varphi(X))$.




To fully answer your question, define $operatorname{ct}(f(x))$ to be the ideal generated by the coefficients of $f(x)$ in $R$. Then we have,




Corollary: Let $R$ be an integral domain and $Pneq 0$ a prime ideal in $R[x]$ with $Pcap R=0$. If there exists a polynomial $varphi(X)in P$ such that $varphi(X)$ is of least positive degree in $P$ and $operatorname{ct}(varphi(X))=R$ then $P=(varphi(X))$.




Proof: Write $varphi(X)=a_{0}X^{d}+ldots+a_{d-1}X+a_{d}$. Let $tin R$ be given such that $ta_{i}in (a_{0})$ for $1leq ileq d$. Since $operatorname{ct}(varphi(X))=R$ there exists $b_{i}in R$ such that
$$sumlimits_{0leq ileq d}a_{i}b_{i}=1.$$
Write $ta_{i}=a_{0}r_{i}$ for each $1leq ileq d$. Then
$$t=tleft(sumlimits_{0leq ileq d}a_{i}b_{i}right)=a_{0}left(sumlimits_{1leq ileq d}r_{i}b_{i}+tb_{0}right)in(a_{0}).$$
Thus $P=(varphi(X))$ by the theorem.$$tag*{$blacksquare$}$$

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
