Primary ideals of $mathbb{Z}$












1












$begingroup$


Let $R=mathbb{Z}$ I must prove that




In $mathbb{Z}$ the primary ideals s are precisely the ideals $(p^k)$ where $p$ is a prime number and $nge 1$.




$$$$
The definition of primary ideal.




Definition. An ideal $I$ of the ring $R$ is called primary if for all $a,bin R$ $$(abin Iquadtext{and}quad anotin I)Rightarrow b^nin I, text{for some positive integer $n$}.$$




Therefore I must prove that




$$(n);text{is primary in};mathbb{Z}iff n=p^k, kge1,pge2,;text{where};p;text{is a prime}.$$




Proof ($Leftarrow$) We suppose that $n=p^k$ for same prime $p$ and $kge 1$. Let $a,binmathbb{Z}$ such that $abin(p^k)$ and $anotin (p^k)$. Then $p^knmid a$, but $p^k mid ab$ I no longer know how to proceed.



$(Rightarrow)$ Let $(n)$ a primary ideal and we suppose for absurd that $n$ is not a power of a prime, then? how could I proceed?



Now, let $abin (p^k)$ with $anotin(p^k)$, then $p^kmid ab.$ Can I conclude that $p^kmid b$?



How can I set up the other implication? Thanks

No. $2 cdot 2^5 in (2^6)$ and $2 notin (2^6)$, but $2^6 not mid 2^5$. What you do know is there are $6$ powers of two among $2$ and $2^5$.



If $a b in (p^k)$, then $a b = m p^k$ for some $m in mathbb{Z}$. Since $a not in (p^k)$, $a = m' p^ell$ for $m,ell in mathbb{Z}$ where $m'|m$, $(m',p) = 1$, and $0 leq ell < p$. Then $b = frac{m}{m'}p^{k-ell}$. Since $k-ell geq 1$, $b^k in (p^k)$.



For the other direction, you should see how to use a composite, as indicated above, to show that a non-prime-power generator of the ideal can be split into parts preventing the ideal being primary.
