Let F be a field. Prove that the only ideals of F are F and {0}
Solution
It should be clear that {0} is an ideal of F. Now, suppose I is an ideal of F containing some
nonzero element x. Then x is a unit, so it has an inverse, call it x^-1. Then, since I is an ideal, it
contains x(x^-1) = 1. Now, let y ? F. Since I is an ideal, we have y = 1(y) ? I. Thus, F = I.

  • 1. Let F be a field. Prove that the only ideals of F are F and {0} Solution It should be clear that {0} is an ideal of F. Now, suppose I is an ideal of F containing some nonzero element x. Then x is a unit, so it has an inverse, call it x^-1. Then, since I is an ideal, it contains x(x^-1) = 1. Now, let y ? F. Since I is an ideal, we have y = 1(y) ? I. Thus, F = I.
