Statement

Let R be a Noetherian ring, and I be a proper ideal in R. Then I admits a primary decomposition, viz., there exists a finite collection Q1,Q2,,Qn of primary ideals such that:

I=i=1nQi

Further, the set of associated primes for I (viewed as a R-module) is the same as the set of radicals for the Qis.

Also see primary decomposition theorem for modules.
