Proving a tensor product has dimension 2 over $mathbb{Q}$

$begingroup$


Can u guys help me prove that $$mathbb{Q}[x,y]/(x^3+y,x^2+y) bigotimes_{mathbb{Q}[x,y]} mathbb{Q}[x,y]/(x^2-y)$$has dimension 2 as a vector space over $mathbb{Q}$. I'm not having good ideas about it, thanks.

    Did you compute the dimension of the two spaces on each side of the tensor product? Dimension is multiplicative for tensor products.

    @quarague This were true if you would tensor over a field, here the tensor product is over a commutative ring which is not a field. Clearly in this question the right tensor factor is infinite dimensional, so there is nothing to gain just computing the dimension.

Hint: Use that for a commutative ring $R$ you have $R/Iotimes_R R/Jcong R/(I+J)$, see e.g. this math.stackexchange question.



Then try to find a basis of $R/(I+J)$ by using the conditions in $I+J$. Further hint: In $R/(I+J)$ you have $x^2=y$ and $x^2=-y$. What does that say about $y$?
