Question 255

Appeared in Year: 2013

Describe in Detail

Essay▾

Let be the ring of Gaussian integers (subring of ) . Which of the following is J: Euclidean domain, principal ideal domain, unique factorization domain? Justify your answer. (Paper II)

Explanation

  • Define by

  • Then

    i.e.. .

  • Let

  • Now for , we can find such that

    i.e.. .

  • Let

  • Where

    Also

  • Now, either

  • Hence we know that
  • Every Euclidean Domain is P. I. D. and every P. I. D. is U. F. D.

    is P. I. D. and also J is U. F. D.

    So J is Euclidean domain, principal ideal domain and unique factorization domain.

    And

    i.e.. .

    is the additive identity of R

  • (d) Existence of Additive inverse:

    For

    There is

  • Such that

    Also

    i.e.. .

    is additive in…

Describe in Detail

Essay▾

Consider the polynomial Ring . Show is irreducible over . Let be the ideal in generated by . Then show that is a field and that each element of it is of the form with in . (Paper 2)

Explanation

  • Given

    Let prime

    Now

    satisfies all the conditions of Eisenstein՚s criterion

    is irreducible over

  • Lemma: - Let principal ideal domain, which is not a field. Then any proper ideal of R is maximal it is generated by an irreducible element of R.
  • Proof of lemma: -
  • Since R is not a field, therefore there exist such that is not a unit

    is not a maximal ide…
