Jacobson radical

The Jacobson radical of a ring R is defined to be the intersection of all maximal ideals of R. This is similar to how the nilradical is equal to the intersection of all prime ideals of R.

We can extend the idea of the nilradical to ideals of R, by letting the radical of an ideal I be the intersection of prime ideals containing I. Under this extension, the original nilradical is the radical of the zero ideal ⊥. Here we define the Jacobson radical of an ideal I in a similar way, as the intersection of maximal ideals containing I.

Main definitions

Let R be a commutative ring, and I be an ideal of R

• Ideal.jacobson I is the jacobson radical, i.e. the infimum of all maximal ideals containing I.

• Ideal.IsLocal I is the proposition that the jacobson radical of I is itself a maximal ideal

Main statements

• mem_jacobson_iff gives a characterization of members of the jacobson of I

• Ideal.isLocal_of_isMaximal_radical: if the radical of I is maximal then so is the jacobson radical

An ideal equals its Jacobson radical iff it is the intersection of a set of maximal ideals. Allowing the set to include ⊤ is equivalent, and is included only to simplify some proofs.
