Examples of PIDs that are not Fields












0












$begingroup$


If $R=mathbb{Z}[frac{1}{2}(1+sqrt{-19})]$ is an example of a PID which is not a Euclidean domain. But since Euclidean domains may not necessarily be fields, this doesn't say much unless $R$ in this case or in other cases is a field. Is $R$ a field? What are ways to check if a PID is a field?



What are some examples of PIDs that are not fields?

    Many, many, yea, infinitely many. $k[t]$ for an indeterminate $t$ and $k$ a field. $k[[t]]$. $Bbb Z$. $Bbb Z[1/n]$ for any nonzero integer $n$.
