Existence of Coefficient Fields in Quasi-Local Rings
In the study of local algebra many results concerning coefficient fields in local rings have been discovered. The concept of a local ring was first introduced by Krull, who defined a local ring as a commutative ring R in which every ideal has a finite basis and in which the set M of all non-units is an ideal, necessarily maximal, (1, p.
