UTM Ideals Varieties and Algorithm - Chapter 1 Section 5 Exercise 3

Problem:


Solution:

It is obvious that xI and yI, if I were a principal ideal then there exists fI such that every element in pI can be written as p=fgp.

Now fgx=x and fgy=y

Since deg(x)=1, so either f has degree 1 and gx has degree 0 or f has degree 0 and g has degree 1.

Suppose f has degree 1 so f=ax+by+c and therefore gx=d has degree 0. We found fgx=(adx+bdy+cd)=0, so ad=1 and hence d0, we also know b=c=0, so f=ax and gx=d. However, fgy=axgy=y, there couldn't be a polynomial gy that satisfy this, so f has to have degree 0.

Now f=e has degree 0, but then it implies eI, but there is not way eI because any constant cannot be written as p(x,y)x+q(x,y)y, so we conclude x,y. cannot be a principal ideal.
