Ordered by the question sequence in the original exam.
-
Question 1
Let \(k=\mathbb {Z}/3\mathbb {Z}\) be the field with three elements. Find all the prime ideals in the ring \(R=k[x,y]/(x^3-x,y^2+x)\).
-
Question 2
Let \(k=\mathbb {Z}/2\mathbb {Z}\) and \(R=k[x]\). Let \(M\) denote the cokernel of the map \(R^3\to R^3\) given by the matrix: \[ \begin {bmatrix} 1+x&x^2&1+x\\ 1&x&1\\ 1&x^2&1+x^2 \end {bmatrix} \]
Write \(\operatorname {Hom}(M,R/(x))\) as a direct sum of cyclic modules.
-
Question 3
Let \(R=(\mathbb {Z}/3\mathbb {Z})[x,y]\) and let \(I=(x,2y)\). Compute the number of elements in \(\operatorname {Ext}^i(R/I,R)\) for each \(i\ge 0\).
-
Question 4
Suppose \(R\) is a commutative ring and \(I\) is an ideal. Let
\[ J=\{x\in R\mid x^n\in I\text { for some integer }n>0\}. \]Prove directly that \(J\) is an ideal of \(R\).
-
Question 5
Determine up to similarity, all real \(5\times 5\)-matrices with characteristic polynomial \(x(x^2+1)^2\).
