Minimal set of generators of an ideal












0












$begingroup$


Let $R$ be a commutative local ring with maximal ideal $mathfrak{m}$. Let $I$ be an ideal and $xin R$ such that $x$ is not a zero divisor on $R/I$. Then a minimal set of generators for $I$ is sent to a minimal set of generators for $(I +(x))/(x)$ in $R/(x)$.



My idea was to try to prove that $I/mathfrak{m}Icong (I + (x))/(mathfrak{m}I +(x))$, but my attempts have been unsuccessful.

          Lemma: For any ideal $I$ and $x$ in $R$, one has $I cap (x) = x(I:_R x)$. In addition if $x$ is a nonzerodivior on $R/I$, $I:x = I$, so $I cap (x) = xI$.




          Now, apply the 3rd and 2nd isomorphism theorems to have
          $$
          frac{I+(x)/(x)}{m(I+(x)) +(x) / (x)} cong frac{I + (x)}{m(I+(x)) + (x)} cong frac{I+(x)}{mI + (x)} = frac{I}{ mI + I cap (x)}.
          $$

          By the lemma above,
          $$
          I/ (mI + I cap (x)) cong I / (mI + xI) = I/mI.
          $$
