Prime ideals of a commutative Artinian ring

ID: prime-ideals-of-a-commutative-artinian-ring

A commutative Artinian ring has finitely many prime ideals, and every one is a maximal ideal. If is prime, the Artinian domain is a field: stabilization of gives , and cancellation gives . Infinitely many distinct maximal ideals would give a strictly descending chain
because distinct maximal ideals are comaximal.
