A short note on minimal prime ideals. (English) Zbl 1303.13001

The paper under review gives a characterization of the rings with finitely many minimal prime ideals:
Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity. Then \(\mathrm{Min}(R)\) is finite if and only if for any \(\mathfrak{p} \in \mathrm{Min}(R)\), there exists a finitely generated ideal \(\mathfrak{p}^*\) of \(R\) such that \(\mathfrak{p}^* \subseteq \mathfrak{p}\) and \(\mathrm{Min}(R/\mathfrak{p}^*)\) is finite.
This result is an extension of results in [D. D. Anderson, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 122, No. 1, 13–14 (1994; Zbl 0841.13001)] and [R. Gilmer and W. Heinzer, Manuscr. Math. 78, No. 2, 201–221 (1993; Zbl 0794.13002)].
