Application Chinese Remainder Theorem to Dedekind Domains












1














I have a question about the application of CRT in a proof of following thread:
Dedekind domain with a finite number of prime ideals is principal



The claim is that a Dedekind domain with a finite number of prime ideals is already principal:



In his answer @pki uses following argument:



Let $R$ be a Dedekind ring and assume that the prime ideals are $mathfrak{p}_1,ldots,mathfrak{p}_n$. Then $mathfrak{p}_1^2,mathfrak{p}_2,ldots,mathfrak{p}_n$ are coprime. Pick an element $pi in mathfrak{p}_1setminus mathfrak{p}_1^2$ and by CRT you can find an $xin R$ s.t.



$$ xequiv pi,(textrm{mod } mathfrak{p}_1^2),;; xequiv 1,(textrm{mod } mathfrak{p}_k),; k=2,ldots,n $$



Factoring we must have $(x)=mathfrak{p}_1$ (???)



Indeed the CRT provides a $x$ such that $ xequiv pi,(textrm{mod } mathfrak{p}_1^2),;; xequiv 1,(textrm{mod } mathfrak{p}_k),; k=2,ldots,n $ holds.



But why we get $(x)=mathfrak{p}_1$?



Factoring just implies $(bar{x}) = mathfrak{p}_1/ mathfrak{p}_1^2$. How to deduce $(x)=mathfrak{p}_1$?

          First $newcommand{pp}{mathfrak{p}}newcommand{mm}{mathfrak{m}}(x)=pp_1^{e_1}cdots pp_n^{e_n}$ for some $e_iinnewcommand{NN}{mathbb{N}}NN$. If $e_i ge 1$ for $ige 2$, then $xin(x)subset pp_i$, however, $xequiv 1 pmod{pp_i}$, so this is impossible. Hence $(x)=pp_1^{e_1}$, for some $e_1ge 1$ (since $(x)subset pp_1$ by assumption, so $(x)ne (1)$). However, $xnotin pp_1^2$ either, so $xin(x)=pp_1^{e_1}$ forces $e_1=1$. Thus $(x)=pp_1$ as desired.

          • @KarlPeter Ah, that's a definition of Dedekind domain, every nonzero ideal factors into primes. See Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind_domain#Alternative_definitions
