If a ring contains a subring isomorphic to $Z$,does it necessarily imply that the ring must be an integral domain?



I know that it must have characteristic 0.However I cannot proceed further.

  • This means every algebra over a field is an integral domain. Counter-example: $K[X]/(X^2)$.

In general, no. Take $mathbbZtimes R$, where $R$ is a unit ring. It is not an integral domain, since $(1,0).(0,1)=(0,0)=0$. But it contains a subring isomorphic to the integers.

    No; consider the ring $mathbb Z[epsilon]/(epsilon^2)$. That is, the ring consisting of elements of the form
    $$
    a + bepsilonqquad a,binmathbb Z,
    $$
    with obvious addition and multiplication given by
    $$
    (a + bepsilon)(c + depsilon) = ac + (ad + bc)epsilon.
    $$
    Then $epsilon^2 = 0$, even though $epsilon neq 0$.
