Existence of $x\in \mathfrak m \setminus \mathfrak m^2$ such that $xR$ is a prime ideal

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local domain of dimension at least $2$. Then, must there exist $x\in \mathfrak m \setminus \mathfrak m^2$ such that $xR$ is a prime ideal of $R$? What if we also ...

Cohen-Macaulayness and regularity of $A/p$

This question claimed (and proved) that if $p$ is a prime ideal of $A=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ with $\operatorname{ht}(p) \in \{0,1,n-1,n\}$, then $A/p$ is Cohen-Macaulay. Now, let $A$ be a (Noetherian) UFD ...

Local Cohen-Macaulay rings

Case one: Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of Krull dimension $d$, $\dim(R)=d$. Let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Assume that $\operatorname{depth}(I,R)=d$, namely, the maximal length of a regular ...

Flat morphism of local rings

Let $(A,m_A)$ and $(B,m_m)$ be two Noetherian local rings, $A \subseteq B$ and $B$ is a finitely generated $A$-algebra. Step 1: Assume that: (1) $A$ is regular. (2) $A \subseteq B$ is flat. Question ...
