prime ideal | product of two elements in the ideal implies at least one of them is in the ideal | follows from the fact that prime implies radical, so a prime ideal equals its own radical | prime radical not implies prime | click here |
primary ideal | product of two elements in the ideal implies either the first or a power of the second is in the ideal | primary implies prime radical | prime radical not implies primary | click here |
