Prime ideals in quadratic ring $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]$












1














Consider quadratic ring $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]$. For each of the following elements tell whether or not the principal ideal $langle xrangle$ generated by $x$ is a prime ideal.



$x=29,11.$



My approach: Firstly, I proved that $29$ is reducible element and $11$ is irreducible element in this ring.



1) Consider the quotient-ring $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]/langle 29rangle$ and we can show that $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]/langle 29rangle cong mathbb{Z}_{29}[sqrt{-5}]$. After trial-error I've found that $mathbb{Z}_{29}[sqrt{-5}]$ is not integral domain because $(3+2sqrt{-5})(3-2sqrt{-5})=0.$ Hence, an ideal $langle 29rangle$ is NOT prime.



2) Consider the quotient-ring $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]/langle 11rangle$ and we can show that $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]/langle 11rangle cong mathbb{Z}_{11}[sqrt{-5}]$. After trial-error I've found that $mathbb{Z}_{11}[sqrt{-5}]$ is integral domain.



How did I show that it is an integral domain? Suppose $(a+bsqrt{-5})(c+dsqrt{-5})=0$, where $a,b,c,din mathbb{Z}_{11}$. Multiplying by conjugates we get that $(a^2+5b^2)(c^2+5d^2)=0$ in $mathbb{Z}_{29}$. But since it is field then at least one of them is zero. WLOG suppose that $a^2+5b^2=0$. And after some trial-error method with $pmod {29}$ I have found that $a=b=0$ in $mathbb{Z}_{11}$.



1) Is my solution and approach correct?



2) Is there is another one more shorter I'd be happy to see it.



3) Also how to apply such method for ideal generated by $1+2sqrt{-5}$?

    If you haven't already, having a look at Dedekind's factorisation criterion might help.
