In $mathbb{Z}$ ring: if $D(I):={x in R,, |,, x+x in I }$ then $D(nmathbb{Z})=nmathbb{Z} iff n,,,,$is odd












1












$begingroup$


Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I$ its ideal. Consider $D(I):={x in R,, |,, x+x in I }$, which is (easy to show) an ideal of $R$.



Assuming $R = mathbb{Z}$ and $n ge 2$, then $D(nmathbb{Z})=nmathbb{Z} iff n,,,,$is odd



Any tips to show that? I am sure that the solution is almost elementary, but there must be a relation that I am missing.

          Obviously you always have $D(I)supseteq I$.



          When $R=mathbb Z$, the condition means that $D(I)={zin mathbb Zmid 2zin I}$.



          If $n$ is even, for example $n=2$, then you obviously have that $1in D(2mathbb Z)supsetneq2mathbb Z$.



          When $n$ is odd, you have to take $zinmathbb Z$ and consider what happens when $2zin nmathbb Z$.



          Just look: $2z=nr$ with $n$ odd implies that $2|r$. Do you see how to finish?
