Regular Local Ring - Examples

Examples

  1. Every field is a regular local ring. These have (Krull) dimension 0. In fact, the fields are exactly the regular local rings of dimension 0.
  2. Any discrete valuation ring is a regular local ring of dimension 1 and the regular local rings of dimension 1 are exactly the discrete valuation rings. Specifically, if k is a field and X is an indeterminate, then the ring of formal power series k] is a regular local ring having (Krull) dimension 1.
  3. If p is an ordinary prime number, the ring of p-adic integers is an example of a discrete valuation ring, and consequently a regular local ring, which does not contain a field.
  4. More generally, if k is a field and X1, X2, ..., Xd are indeterminates, then the ring of formal power series k] is a regular local ring having (Krull) dimension d.
  5. If A is a regular ring, then it follows that the polynomial ring A and the formal power series ring A] are both regular.
  6. If Z is the ring of integers and X is an indeterminate, the ring Z(2, X) is an example of a 2-dimensional regular local ring which does not contain a field.

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
