SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that the quotient ring $C[x,y,z]/$ is indeed an integral domain. This conclusion is reached by demonstrating that the kernel of the morphism $\phi$ is generated by the elements $y-x^2$ and $z-x^3$. By applying the theorem of isomorphism, it is established that this quotient ring is isomorphic to the image of $\phi$, which is a subring of $\mathbb{C}[x]$. Since $\mathbb{C}[x]$ is an integral domain, the image of $\phi$ and thus the quotient ring is also an integral domain.

Hi! (Smile)

Can I justify like that, that $C[x,y,z]/<y-x^2,z-x^3>$ is an integral domain?

We show that $ker(\phi)=<y-x^2,z-x^3>$.

From the theorem of isomorphism, we have that $C[x,y,z]/<y-x^2,z-x^3> \cong im(\phi)$

$im(\phi)$ is a subring of $\mathbb{C}[x]$

$\mathbb{C}[x]$ is an integral domain, since $\mathbb{C}$ is a field.

As $im(\phi)$ is a subring of $\mathbb{C}[x]$, $im(\phi)$ is also an integral domain.

Hi evinda,

You need to define some morphism to claim such things.
