Minimal primes

We provide various results concerning the minimal primes above an ideal

Main results

• Ideal.minimalPrimes: I.minimalPrimes is the set of ideals that are minimal primes over I.
• minimalPrimes: minimalPrimes R is the set of minimal primes of R.
• Ideal.exists_minimalPrimes_le: Every prime ideal over I contains a minimal prime over I.
• Ideal.radical_minimalPrimes: The minimal primes over I.radical are precisely the minimal primes over I.
• Ideal.sInf_minimalPrimes: The intersection of minimal primes over I is I.radical.
• Ideal.exists_minimalPrimes_comap_eq If p is a minimal prime over f ⁻¹ I, then it is the preimage of some minimal prime over I.
• Ideal.minimalPrimes_eq_comap: The minimal primes over I are precisely the preimages of minimal primes of R ⧸ I.
• Localization.AtPrime.prime_unique_of_minimal: When localizing at a minimal prime ideal I, the resulting ring only has a single prime ideal.

def Ideal.minimalPrimes {R : Type u_1} [CommSemiring R] (I : Ideal R) : Set (Ideal R)

I.minimalPrimes is the set of ideals that are minimal primes over I.

Equations

• I.minimalPrimes = {p : Ideal R | Minimal (fun (q : Ideal R) => q.IsPrime ∧ I ≤ q) p}

def minimalPrimes (R : Type u_1) [CommSemiring R] : Set (Ideal R)

minimalPrimes R is the set of minimal primes of R. This is defined as Ideal.minimalPrimes ⊥.

Equations

• minimalPrimes R = ⊥.minimalPrimes
