I am reading Joseph J.Rotman's book, A First Course in Abstract Algebra.

I am currently focused on Section 3. Polynomials

I need help with the a statement of Rotman's concerning the definition of a gcd in a general domain ... the definition

The relevant section of Rotman's text reads as follows:View attachment 4544

In the above text we read the following:

" ... ... By Proposition 3.41, the principal ideals generated by two gcd's $$d$$ and $$d'$$ of $$a$$ and $$b$$ coincide: $$(d') = (d)$$. ... ..."Can someone please help me to prove (rigorously and formally) that this statement actually follows from Proposition 3.41?

Hope someone can help ...

Proposition 3.41 reads as follows:

I don't see how Prop. 3.41 applies. It's pretty straightforward anyway. If $d$ and $d'$ are gcds of $a$ and $b$, then $d|d'$ and $d'|d$. Thus $(d)\subseteq (d')$ and $(d')\subseteq (d)$.
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
