What is maximal ideal $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ ? And how it is calculated? Also why $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}/p\mathbb{Z}_{(p)} = \mathbb{F}_p.$?
I know $p\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ is maximal ideal for $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ but how? I know $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)} $ is local so it has unique maximal ideal .
In fact $A_{(p)}$ is a local ring, i.e. it has a unique maximal ideal of the form $$ m_p=\{ \frac {p}{s} ; p\in (p), s\in A-(p) \} $$ to see that $m_p$is maximal ideal, every element of $A_{(p)}$ not in $m_p$ is the form $\frac{s'}{s}$ with $s'\in A-(p)$, and so has an inverse $\frac{s}{s'}$ and is hence a unit.
