Let be an integral domain and
be a ring homomorphism.
Then so
or
.
If , trivially
.
Now suppose and
.
For any (
and
is nonzero),
so
, i.e.,
.
Finally assume that and
.
For any nonnegative ,
.
This implies for any with
,
so
is increasing.
Now noting that if
as we’ve seen just before, suppose
for some
.
Since is dense in
, there exists
such that
.
This contradicts the fact that is increasing.
On the other hand, the case that also derives a contradiction similarly.
Hence for every
, i.e.,
.
