This answer suggests the idea, that a local ring $(R, mathfrakm)$ whose maximal ideal is nilpotent is in fact an Artinian ring.



Is this true? If so, how is it proven?

          You need that $R$ is noetherian, else there are counterexamples.



          E.g., take $R = K[x_i]_i in mathbbN/(x_i | i in mathbbN)^2$.



          If $R$ is Noetherian, this is a special case of Lemma 10.59.4 here which states that a Noetherian ring of dimension $0$ is Artinian.

          • I just added a proof that $R$ has dimension zero, so I will not become confused (again) in the future.

          There is a version of this theorem even for noncommutative rings. It is called the Hopkins-Levitzki theorem.



          It says, in a nutshell, that if $R/J(R)$ is semisimple and $J(R)$ is nilpotent, then $R$ is right Artinian iff right Noetherian. Yours is a special case where $R/J(R)$ is a field.



          Here is the DaRT search which currently yields two examples of local, non-Artinian rings with nilpotent Jacobson radicals.
