Find all of the ideals of Q, M2(R) (the 2 x 2 matrices with entries in R) and M2(Z) (the 2 x 2 matrices with entries in Z) and determine which ideals are maximal and which ideals are prime. Please explain why the ideals are maximal and/or prime.

Expert Solution

Assuming M2(R)M2(R) refers to the set of all 2×22×2 real matrices:

If AA is a rank 22 matrix, then (A)=(I)(A)=(I) is the whole ring. If AA is the zero matrix, then we get the trivial ideal. The only remaining possibility is that AA is a rank 11matrix.

By performing row operations (i.e. multiplying on the left by units) and column operations (i.e. multiplying on the right by units), we can produce any other rank 11 matrix. So, we have (1000)∈(A)(1000)∈(A) and (0001)∈(A)(0001)∈(A). Because (A)(A) is closed under addition, I∈(A)I∈(A), which means that (A)(A) is the entire ring.

Thus, the only two two-sided ideals are the trivial ideal and the ring itself.

As for nontrivial one-sided ideals, consider

{A(1000):A∈M2(R)}{(1000)A:A∈M2(R)}

Let V = R^2×2 be the vector space of 2-by-2 matrices with real entries over the scalar field R. We can define a function L on V by L : V is sent to V L = A maps to A^T , so that L is the “transpose operator.” The inner product of two matrices B in R^n×n and C in R^n×n is usually defined to be <B,C> := trace (BC^T) , and we will use this as our inner...

Work out the products of the matrices E, R, R^2,R^3, A, B, C, D, and verify that these products reproduce the multiplication table for the symmetries of the square, as expected. (Instead of computing all 64 products, compute “sufficiently many” products, and show that your computations suffice to determine all other products.)
