Example of rings of the same positive characteristic that do not embed
into their tensor product?
I'm overcoming my fear of tensor products, and the following exercise got
me wondering:
Give an example of commutative rings $A$ and $B$ with
$\operatorname{char}A=\operatorname{char}B$ such that the map $$A
\longrightarrow\ A\otimes_{\Bbb{Z}}B:\ a\ \longmapsto\ a\otimes1,$$ is not
injective.
Examples with $\operatorname{char}A\neq\operatorname{char}B$ are of course
abundant, and examples with $\operatorname{char}A=\operatorname{char}B=0$
aren't too difficult either. But I am unable to find an example with
$\operatorname{char}A=\operatorname{char}B>0$. An example would be very
welcome, but a clue as to where to look for one would also be much (or
even more?) appreciated.
