$A$ has only finitely many minimal prime ideals $\implies\ (0)$ is decomposable? [duplicate]

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with only finitely many minimal prime ideals. Is the zero ideal $(0)$ decomposable? [The converse implication is well known. Recall that an ideal is decomposable if it ...

Commutative non Noetherian rings in which all maximal ideals are finitely generated

In commutative rings we have the following Theorem. $R$ is Noetherian if and only if each prime ideal of $R$ is finitely generated. From this Theorem I am looking for commutative rings $R$ in which ...

Example of a finitely generated faithful torsion module over a commutative ring

Can a finitely generated module $M$ over a commutative ring have $\operatorname{Ann}(x) \neq 0$ for all $x \in M$ while $\operatorname{Ann}(M) = 0$? It's not difficult to show that there is no such ...

Are finitely generated projective modules free over the total ring of fractions?

Let $Q(A)$ be the total ring of fractions of a commutative reduced non-noetherian ring $A$. Let $P$ be a finitely generated projective module over $Q(A)$ which is of constant rank (i.e. locally free ...

Non-domain of Krull dimension zero

Let $F$ be a field, and $V$ be an $F$-vector space. Make $R=F⊕V$ a ring by putting $xy=0$ for $x,y\in V$. Is it true that the Krull dimension of $R$ is equal to zero? If this is so, $R$ would be an ...

Is it true that if some power of an ideal is primary, then the ideal itself is also primary?

Is it true that if some power of an ideal $I$ is primary, then $I$ itself is also a primary ideal? I do not know whether the above statement is true or there is a counterexample. If one wants to ...

An example of a finitely cogenerated ring having infinitely many maximal ideals

A commutative unital ring $R$ is called finitely cogenerated if an intersection of ideals of $R$ is zero, then a finite intersection of them is also zero. I am looking for a finitely cogenerated ...

Non Classical Examples of Indecomposable Ideals

A classical example of a ring $R$ with an indecomposable ideal is the ring $C(X)$ of real valued continuous functions on $X$, where the $(0)$ ideal is not decomposable. Does anyone know other examples ...
