product of finitely generated ideals


Let R be a commutative ring having at least one regular elementPlanetmathPlanetmathand T its total ring of fractionsMathworldPlanetmath.  Let  𝔞:=(a0,a1,,am-1)  and  𝔟:=(b0,b1,,bn-1)  be two fractional idealsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of R(see the entry “fractional ideal of commutative ring”).  Thenthe product submodule  𝔞𝔟  of T is also a of R and is generated by all the elements aibj, thus having a generating set of  mn  elements.

Such a generating set may be condensed in the case of any Dedekind domainMathworldPlanetmath, especially for the of any algebraic number fieldMathworldPlanetmath one has the multiplication formula

𝔞𝔟=(a0b0,a0b1+a1b0,a0b2+a1b1+a2b0,,am-1bn-1).(1)

Here, the number of generatorsPlanetmathPlanetmath is only  m+n-1 (in principle, every ideal of a Dedekind domain has a generating system of two elements (http://planetmath.org/TwoGeneratorProperty)).  The formula is characteristicPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/Characterization) still for a wider class of rings R which may contain zero divisors, viz. for the Prüfer rings (see [1]), but then at least one of 𝔞 and 𝔟 must be a regular ideal.

Note that the generators in (1) are formed similarly as the coefficientsMathworldPlanetmath in the product of the polynomialsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathf(X):=f0+f1X++fm-1Xm-1  and g(X):=g0+g1X++gn-1Xn-1.  Thus we may call the fractional ideals 𝔞 and 𝔟 of R the coefficient modules 𝔪f and 𝔪g of the polynomials f and g (they are R-modules).  Hence the formula (1) may be rewritten as

𝔪f𝔪g=𝔪fg.(2)

This formula says the same as Gauss’s lemma I for a unique factorization domainMathworldPlanetmath R.

Arnold and Gilmer [2] have presented and proved the following generalisation of (2) which is valid under much less stringent assumptions than the ones requiring R to be a Prüfer ring (initially: a Prüfer domain); the proof is somewhat simplified in [1].

Theorem (Dedekind–Mertens lemma).  Let R be a subring of a commutative ring T.  If f andg are two arbitrary polynomials in the polynomial ring T[X],then there exists a non-negative integer n such that theR-submodules of T generated by the coefficients of thepolynomials f, g and fg satisfy the equality

𝔪fn+1𝔪g=𝔪fn𝔪fg.(3)
