). Localization, continued from last lecture. Let S be a multiplicative set in A, and : A S 1 A, and let IS = 1 (S 1 I ). If q is a primary ideal and S = where = R(q ), then S 1 q is primary with radical S 1 , and qS = q . Can show x qS implies x q , thus qS = q . Let I = q1 qn . Choose Si so that si i = , and Si j = for j = i. (ISi = qi .) Then ISi = (qi )Si = qi . Si = A i works. Existence and Uniqueness. Existence for all noetherian rings. Uniqueness (with qualications) for all rings. Replacing intersection by products and primary by prime powers gives more familiar results. For relatively prime ideals (I, J relatively prime if I + J = (1)), I J = IJ .
