Integral domains and fields. Prove that the characteristic of an integral domain is either prime or 0. Let R be a ring. We say that an element a ∈ R is idempotent if a^2 = a. Prove that if R is an integral domain, then its only idempotent elements are 0 and 1. Show that any finite integral domain must be a field.
