 Krull's principal ideal theorem

Krull's Principal Ideal Theorem is a significant result in commutative algebra that connects the concept of prime ideals to the structure of a ring. Specifically, it provides conditions under which a principal ideal generated by an element in a Noetherian ring intersects non-trivially with a prime ideal. The theorem states the following: Let \( R \) be a Noetherian ring, and let \( P \) be a prime ideal of \( R \).
