Rückert's descent along polynomial-like ring maps #
This file develops the abstract descent principle of Bosch, Güntzer and Remmert, §5.2.5, which
transfers the noetherian, factorial and Jacobson properties from a ring A to a ring B
receiving an injective map φ : A[X] →+* B that behaves like the inclusion of polynomials into
restricted power series.
The hypotheses (RingHom.IsRueckert) concern a set W of monic polynomials, closed under
taking monic factors, such that
- for every
w ∈ W, the mapφinduces an isomorphismA[X] ⧸ (w) ≃+* B ⧸ (φ w)(RingHom.IsRueckert.quotientEquiv), and - every nonzero
b : Bbecomes a unit multiple of someφ wafter a ring automorphism ofB.
For a Tate algebra A = K⟨X₁, …, Xₙ⟩ and B = A⟨Y⟩, the polynomials W are the
Weierstrass polynomials: the quotient comparison is Weierstrass division, and the automorphisms
are the changes of variables making a series distinguished, followed by Weierstrass preparation.
The quotient comparison descends every quotient of B by a nonzero ideal, after an automorphism,
to a quotient of some A[X] ⧸ (w), which is finite over A because w is monic
(RingHom.IsRueckert.exists_finite_quotient). Consequently:
RingHom.IsRueckert.isNoetherianRing: ifAis noetherian, so isB;RingHom.IsRueckert.uniqueFactorizationMonoid: ifAis a unique factorisation domain andBis a domain, thenBis a unique factorisation domain. Eachφ wis a product of primes, because a monic factorisation ofwin the factorial ringA[X]stays inW, and an irreduciblew ∈ Wgenerates a prime ideal whose quotient is identified withB ⧸ (φ w);RingHom.IsRueckert.isJacobsonRing: ifAis a Jacobson ring and the Jacobson radical ofBis zero, thenBis a Jacobson ring. Indeed every nonzero radical ideal ofBis the intersection of the maximal ideals containing it (RingHom.IsRueckert.jacobson_eq_self): it contains some nonzerob, andB ⧸ (b)is isomorphic to the Jacobson ringA[X] ⧸ (w). The condition on the Jacobson radical cannot be dropped: for a reduced ringBit is necessary (RingHom.IsRueckert.isJacobsonRing_iff_jacobson_eq_bot).

The Rückert hypotheses for an injective ring map φ : A[X] →+* B and a set W of monic
polynomials closed under taking monic factors: for each w ∈ W, the map φ induces an
isomorphism A[X] ⧸ (w) ≃+* B ⧸ (φ w) (the divisibility and remainder conditions below), and
every nonzero element of B is mapped by some ring automorphism of B to a unit multiple of
φ w for some w ∈ W.

For w ∈ W, the map φ induces a ring isomorphism A[X] ⧸ (w) ≃+* B ⧸ (φ w).

The quotient comparison sends the class of a polynomial to the class of its image.
The quotient of B by a nonzero principal ideal is isomorphic to A[X] ⧸ (w) for some
w ∈ W.
Finite-quotient descent. For every nonzero ideal I of B there is a ring automorphism
α of B such that B ⧸ α(I) is finite over A, through A → A[X] → B.
Rückert's noetherian descent. If A is noetherian, so is B.
The image of a prime member of W is prime.
Over a unique factorisation domain A, the image of every member of W is associated to a
product of primes.
Rückert's factorial descent. If A is a unique factorisation domain and B is a domain,
then B is a unique factorisation domain.
Over a Jacobson ring A, every nonzero radical ideal of B is the intersection of the
maximal ideals containing it.
Rückert's Jacobson descent. If A is a Jacobson ring and the Jacobson radical of B is
zero, then B is a Jacobson ring.
For a reduced ring B over a Jacobson ring A, the ring B is Jacobson exactly when its
Jacobson radical is zero.
