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 chainbecause distinct maximal ideals are comaximal.
