Questions tagged [integral-domain]

For questions regarding integral domains, their structures, and properties. This tag should probably be accompanied by the Ring Theory tag. This tag is not for use for questions regarding integrals in analysis and calculus.

An integral domain is a commutative ring with identity and no zero divisors. That is, a commutative ring $R$ with $1$ is an integral domain if and only if for all $a, b \in R$,

$$ab = 0 \implies a = 0 \text{ or } b = 0$$

Alternatively, a commutative ring with $1$ in which the ideal $\{0\}$ is prime is an integral domain. Note that some authors do not require an integral domain to have a unit $1$.

The prototypical example of an integral domain is the ring of integers, $\Bbb{Z}$, and all fields are integral domains.

About units in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt[3]{2}]$

Is it true that all units in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt[3]{2}]$ are of form $\pm(1+\sqrt[3]{2}+\sqrt[3]{4})^n$ for some integer $n$ ?

Showing that if $F$ an integral domain, $F[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ is an integral domain

If $F$ is an integral domain, show that $F[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ is an integral domain. Can anyone help out by giving me hints on how I should show that is an integral domain? I would appreciate your help.

Identify two surfaces forming the boundary of this domain

I have a domain for an integral given by: $$\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \le z \le \sqrt{2-x^2-y^2}$$ I've sketched the domain on a plane and can see the shape it makes (a sort of diamond shape) but in my question I'm asked to find the the two surfaces forming…

How to find the irreducible factors in this domain?

Find the irreducible factors of $r=1-\omega^2$ with $\omega = \frac{1}{2}(-1+\sqrt{-3})$ in $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ I know that i can factor $1-\omega^2$ like $(1-\omega)(1+\omega)$. But, how i can show that $1-\omega,1+\omega$ are irreducibles in…

A question on zero divisors

In the ring $\mathbb Z_n$, the divisors of zero are precisely those elements $m\in \mathbb Z_n$ such that $(m,n) > 1$. Proof: Let $d = (m,n)$ and note that …

I need the Domain of integration of a double integral

Giveing that I have a squere formed with the points (1,0) , (0,1) , (-1,0) , (0,-1) so basically a romb centerd in O(0,0) how do I find the domain of integration D ? I've started by giving the x his domain ( -1 < x < 1 ) and getting the equations…

General Question about Integral domains.

How do you prove that a particular set is an integral domain? is it enough to prove that there are no zero divisors to say that it is not an integral domain? For example: a + bsqrt(2) : a,b are integers. Would it be sufficient for me to say that…
