Consider $I=(x^2 - y^3, y^2 - z^3)subset k[x,y,z]$ as an ideal with $k$ a field.



$textbf{Q:}$ I am Looking for alternative argument to conclude $I$ is prime ideal. It is clear that I can use parametrization $k[x,y,z]to k[t]$ by parametrization $(x,y,z)to (t^9, t^6, t^4)$ and argue this descends to a monomorphism under quotient $k[x,y,z]/I$. Note this map is clearly not surjection. Hence this is not isomorphic to $A^1_k$ and this is already indicated by singularity at $(0,0,0)$. Can I conclude primeness of ideal $I$ by some other better argument? Say intersection,grobner basis,...

  • @reuns Then you are using embedding implicitly which is essentially showing $k[x,y,z]to k[t]$ inducing an embedding and this will induce $k-$algebra level isomorphism for function fields.

Lemma: Let $f:Xto Y$ be a continuous map of topological spaces. If $X$ is irreducible, then $f(X)$ is irreducible.



Proof: If $f(X)$ had a decomposition in to two nontrivial proper closed subsets $Acup B$, then $f^{-1}(A)cup f^{-1}(B)$ would be a decomposition of $X$ in to two nontrivial proper closed subsets, contradicting irreducibility of $X$.



We apply this to the situation at hand in the following fashion: $V(I)$ is the image of the morphism $Bbb A^1toBbb A^3$ given by $tmapsto (t^9,t^6,t^4)$, so $V(I)$ is irreducible. Thus $I$ must be prime.

    Sort of - one can see that irreducibilty is a little finer than connectedness (it's possible for different irreducible components to meet), but going forwards along the map is exactly the same.

KReiser has given a really nice answer, but I just wanted to add that you're already essentially there with what you've written in your question. You've observed that the map $(x,y,z)mapsto (t^9,t^6,t^4)$ induces an injection $k[x,y,z]/I hookrightarrow k[t]$. The latter ring is a domain, and any subring of a domain is a domain, thus $I$ must be prime.
