Topic: Maximal ideal

	Maximal ideal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximal ideals are important because the quotient rings of maximal ideals are simple rings and in the special case of unital commutative rings even fields.
		In the ring Z of integers the maximal ideals are the principal ideals generated by a prime number.
		Maximal ideals can be directly characterized to be those ideals which are subsets of only two ideals: the improper ideal and the maximal ideal itself.

	Prime ideal
		In the ring Z[X] of all polynomials with integer coefficients, the ideal generated by 2 and X is a prime ideal.
		One use of prime ideals occurs in algebraic geometry, where varieties are defined as the zero sets of ideals in polynomial rings.
		The introduction of prime ideals in algebraic number theory was a major step forward, since it made comprehensible the failure of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

	PlanetMath: existence of maximal ideals
		Note also that the use of the Axiom of Choice (in the form of Zorn's Lemma) is necessary, as there are models of ZF in which the above theorem and corollary fail.

		After seeing this object (existence of maximal ideals) though, I realize that it could be adapted to supply a proof for the result that I wanted to add.

		This relation between the points of the interval and the maximal ideals has resulted in the construction of various theories for representing rings as rings of functions on a topological space.
		In a distributive lattice, as in a commutative ring, all maximal ideals are prime; the converse implication holds in a Boolean algebra, and indeed a distributive lattice in which all prime ideals are maximal is necessarily Boolean.
		The construction of maximal ideals in arbitrary rings or lattices generally requires an appeal to Zorn's lemma (see Axiom of choice or Zorn lemma), and indeed the maximal ideal theorem for many classes of rings or lattices (i.e.

		Ideals are important because they appear as the kernels of ring homomorphisms and allow one to define factor ring.
		Maximal ideal: A proper ideal I is called a maximal ideal if there exists no other proper ideal J with I a subset of J.
		The sum and the intersection of ideals is again an ideal; with these two operations as join and meet, the set of all ideals of a given commutative ring forms a lattice.

		In mathematics, a prime ideal is a subset of a ring which shares many important properties of a prime number in the ring of integers.
		In any ring R, a maximal ideal is an ideal M that is maximal in the set of all proper ideals of R, i.e.
		Every maximal ideal is in fact prime; the converse is not true, in general.

	Ideals and Quotients
		For an ideal I the coefficient height is defined to be the maximum integer occurring in the current representation of the ideal: If the ideal is given via two elements, this will be the maximal coefficient height of the generators, otherwise the maximal entry of the basis matrix.
		For an ideal I the coefficient length is defined to be the size of the current representation: If the ideal is given via two elements, this will be the sum of the coefficient lengths of the generators, otherwise the sum of the entries of the basis matrix.
		All ideals of maximal orders can be generated by one or two elements of the field of fractions of the order they are an ideal of.

		Every maximal ideal is in fact prime; the converse is true in a principal ideal domain, but is not true in general.
		The preimage of a prime ideal under a ring homomorphism is a prime ideal
		This is close to the historical point of view of ideals as ideal numbers, as "A is contained in P" is another way of saying "P divides A".

	ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Ideal Theory of Commutative Rings
		R is a maximal ideal of R. Proposition.
		I is the intersection of all prime ideals of R that contain I. In any principal ideal domain, our next definitions both reduce to the statement that the ideal in question is generated by a power of an irreducible element.
		One important consequence of the generalized principal ideal theorem is that any Noetherian ring satisfies the descending chain condition for prime ideals.

	Spectra of Rings
		This is a ring and contains maximal hence prime ideals by the zorn lemma, hence the pullback of any one such under the map R/A goes to the localization, is a prime ideal of R not containing A but not f.
		Then they proved that O(p) is a radical ideal, hence an interscetion of prime ideals, hence there exist other prime ideals that are not maximal.
		So the pullback to R of any maximal proper ideal of the localization of S at powers of f, is a prime ideal of R containing J but not f.

	CJM - Homeomorphic Analytic Maps into the Maximal Ideal Space of $H^\infty$
		Let $m$ be a point of the maximal ideal space of $\papa$ with nontrivial Gleason part $P(m)$.
		We characterize the points $m$ for which $L_m$ is a homeomorphism in terms of interpolating sequences, and we show that in this case $\papa \circ L_m$ coincides with $\papa$.
		Also, if $I_m$ is the ideal of functions in $\papa$ that identically vanish on $P(m)$, we estimate the distance of any $f\in \papa$ to $I_m$.

		X = Spec(R) is a noetherian topological space, since the closed subsets correspond to ideals.
		Since the original chain had maximal length, one of these inclusions must be an equality.
