M/Pi niM 9.4.7. Proposition. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite module. Let L ⊂ M<br />

have a reduced primary decomposition<br />

L = N1 ∩ · · · ∩ Nn<br />

where Ni is Pi-primary. Assume U to be a multiplicative subset disjoint from<br />

exactly P1, . . . Pk. Then<br />

is a reduced primary decomposition.<br />

U −1 L = U −1 N1 ∩ · · · ∩ U −1 Nk<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. This follows from 9.3.7 and 9.4.3.<br />

9.4.8. Exercise. (1) Describe the primary decomposition over a field.<br />

9.5. Decomposition <strong>of</strong> ideals<br />

9.5.1. Proposition. A proper ideal I ⊂ R has a reduced primary decomposition<br />

and for any such<br />

and<br />

is exact.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. This is a case <strong>of</strong> 9.4.3.<br />

I = Q1 ∩ · · · ∩ Qn<br />

Ass(R/I) = {P1, . . . , Pn}<br />

0 → R/I → <br />

R/Qi<br />

9.5.2. Proposition. If<br />

I = Q1 ∩ · · · ∩ Qn<br />

is a reduced primary decomposition and Pi is minimal in Ass(R/I), then<br />

and therefore uniquely determined.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. This is a case <strong>of</strong> 9.4.4.<br />

Qi = R ∩ IRPi<br />

9.5.3. Definition. Let P be a prime ideal. The symbolic power <strong>of</strong> P is<br />

P (n) = R ∩ P n RP<br />

9.5.4. Proposition. Let<br />

P n = Q1 ∩ · · · ∩ Qn<br />

be a reduced primary decomposition <strong>of</strong> a power <strong>of</strong> a prime ideal P . If Ass(R/Q1) =<br />

{P }, then<br />

Q1 = P (n)<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. This is a case <strong>of</strong> 9.4.4.<br />
