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.

Further results that need the theory of localizations can be found in RingTheory/Ideal/Minimal/Localization.lean.

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
