This question already has an answer here:



  • If F is a field, then $F[x,y]$ is a Principal Ideal Domain?

    3 answers



This question is from Herstein’s Topic in Algebra, page 166, question No. 8.




Prove that when $F$ is a field, $F[x_1 , x_2]$ is not a principal ideal ring.




I didn't understand, as no answer has been given in this post:
Prove that it is not a Principal Ideal Ring



Any hints/solution will be appreciated.



Thanks in advance

Hint:



$F[x_1,x_2]$ is not a principal ideal ring if you can find an ideal that cannot be generated by a single element. Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that $$(x_1,x_2)=(f)$$ What can you say about $f$?



Strong hint:




$x_1,x_2in (f)Rightarrow f=x_1x_2gRightarrow (x_1,x_2)subseteq (x_1x_2)$. From here, consider what happens with the ideals under the evaluation homomorphism $$phi: F[x_1,x_2]rightarrow F\x_1mapsto 1\x_2mapsto 0$$
