An example of Gorenstein ring which is not local regular.

393 Views Asked by At

I have to find an example of Gorenstein ring which is not local regular.

I take $A=K[|X,Y|]/(XY)$.

This is a local ring. As $XY\in (X,Y)^2$ it results that $A$ is not regular.

$K[|X,Y|]$ is Cohen-Macaulay $\Rightarrow$ $K[|X,Y|]$ is Gorenstein and $XY$ is a nonzero divisor on $K[|X,Y|]$ $\Rightarrow$ $A$ is Gorenstein.

Is it right?
