Associated Primes in Short Exact Sequences
Taken from: [1, Exercise 9.42].
Exercise 9.42
Let
\[0 \longrightarrow L \xrightarrow{\; f\;} M \xrightarrow{\; g\;} N \longrightarrow 0\]
be a short exact sequence of modules and homomorphisms over the commutative Noetherian ring $R$. Prove that
\[\operatorname{Ass}(L) \subseteq \operatorname{Ass}(M) \subseteq \operatorname{Ass}(L) \cup \op...
Generalization of the Second Uniqueness Theorem for Primary Decomposition
Taken from: [1, Exercise 5.43].
Exercise 5.43
Let $I$ be a decomposable ideal of the commutative ring $R$. Let
\[I=Q_1 \cap \ldots \cap Q_n \quad \text { with } \sqrt{Q_i} =P_i \text { for } i=1, \ldots, n\]
be a minimal primary decomposition of $I$. Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a non-empty subset of $\operatorname{ass}I$ with the property that when...
Primary Ideals and Their Extensions in Polynomial Rings
Taken from: [1, Exercise 4.36].
Exercise 4.36
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $X$ be an indeterminate; use the extension and contraction notation of 2.41 in conjunction with the natural ring homomorphism $f: R \rightarrow R[X]$. Let $Q$ and $I$ be ideals of $R$.
Show that $Q$ is a primary ideal of $R$ if and only if $Q^e$ is a p...
