It is set in small type as supplementary.

Let A be a commutative ring, B=A[Xn]n≥1B = A[X_n]_{n \geq 1} a polynomial ring over A in an infinity of indeterminates and C the quotient ring of B by the ideal generated by the polynomials (X1−X2)Xi(X_1 - X_2)X_i for i≥3i \geq 3. If ξ1\xi_1 and ξ2\xi_2 are the classes in C of X1X_1 and X2X_2 respectively, show that the intersection in C of the monogenous ideals Cξ1C\xi_1 and Cξ2C\xi_2 is not a finitely generated ideal.*
