Exercise 111.64.4 (Ideals). Let $A = \mathbf{F}_2[x, y]/(x^2, xy, y^2)$ and denote $\overline{x}$ and $\overline{y}$ the images of $x$ and $y$ in $A$. List the ideals of $A$. No explanation necessary.

Exercise 111.64.5 (Tor and Ext). Let $(A, \mathfrak m, \kappa )$ be a Noetherian local ring. Set $\varphi (n) = \dim _\kappa \mathfrak m^ n/\mathfrak m^{n + 1}$.
