Isomorphism between quotients of two variable formal power series ring

41 Views Asked by At

$k$ is a field whose characteristic is not $2$, and $f(x,y)=x^2-y^2, g(x,y)=x^2+x^3-y^2$.

Exercise. Show that $k[[x,y]]/(f)\simeq k[[x,y]]/(g)$.

So far, I've shown the following.

  • $k[[x,y]]$ is an integral domain.
  • $\sqrt{1+x}\in k[[x,y]]^{\times}$, $g(x,y)=(x\sqrt{1+x}+y)(x\sqrt{1+x}-y)$
  • The two ideals $(x+y)$, $(x-y)$ are not coprime.

I was trying to use the Chinese remainder theorem. But since the two ideals are not coprime, it cannot help. Now I'm trying to use the fundamental homomorphism theorem.

If you can answer this exercise, please help me.
