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.
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
