THE LENGTH OF NOETHERIAN MODULES

We show that if R is a left Noetherian ring, then Here, for a Noetherian left module A, len A is its ordinal valued length as defined by Gulliksen (Gulliksen, (1973). T. H. A theory of length for noetherian modules. J. Pure Appl. Algebra 3:159–170), and ⊗ is the natural product on ordinal numbers.

A module M with Krull dimension is said to satisfy the large condition if for any essential submodule L of M, the Krull dimension of M/ L is strictly less than the Krull dimension of M. For a right noetherian ring R with Krull dimension a this is equivalent to the condition that every f.g.uniform submodule of E(RR) with Krull dimension a is critical.It is also shown that if R is right noetherian with Krull dimension a and if I0 is a right ideal maximal with respect to K dim 10 < a, then R satisfies the large condition if and only if I0 is a finite intersection of cocritical right ideals and I0 is closed.

We study modules which are characteristic submodules in their injective hulls.

A moduleM is said to be Noetherian if every properly ascending chain of submodules in M is finite. Expressions of the form 'A is a Noetherian ring' mean that AA and AA are Noetherian modules. A moduleM is said to be injective with respect to the moduleX or X-injective if for any submodule X1 in X, every homomorphismX1 → M may be extended to a homomorphismX → M. For a ring A, an A-module M is said to be injective if M is injective with respect to any A-module. A submodule M of the module E is said to be essential if M ∩ E1 6 0 for any nonzero submodule E1 in E. If E is an injective module and M is an essential submodule in E then E is called the injective hull of the module M. The injective hull is unique up to isomorphism. A submoduleM of the module E is called a characteristic submodule if f(M) ⊆ M for every automorphismf of the module E. In the papers (3), (8), and (10), a module M is said to be automorphism- invariant if M is a characteristic submodule of the injective hull of M. It is easy to verify that a module M is an automorphism-invariant if and only if M is a charac- teristic submodule of some injective module; see Remark 6 below. Remark 1. In (3, Theorem 16), it is proved that a module M is an automorphism-invariant module if and only if M is a pseudo-injective module, i.e., for any submodule X in M , every monomorphism X → M may be exten- ded to an endomorphism of the moduleM . For example, see (6), (11), (3) about pseudo-injective modules. Remark 2. It is clear that every injective module is an automorphism-invariant module. The converse is not true, since every simple Abelian group is a finite automorphism-invariant non-injective module over the ring of integers Z.

The Eakin–Nagata theorem examines the condition that the Noetherian property passes through each other between subrings and extension rings in 1968. Later, a noncommutative version of Eakin–Nagata theorem was also proved. Lam called this version Eakin–Nagata–Eisenbud theorem. In addition, Anderson and Dumitrescu introduced the $S$-Noetherian concept which is an extended notion of the Noetherian property on commutative rings in 2002. In this paper, we consider the $S$-variant of Eakin–Nagata–Eisenbud theorem for general rings by using $S$-Noetherian modules. We also show that every right $S$-Noetherian domain is right Ore, which is embedded into a division ring. For a right $S$-Noetherian ring, we obtain sufficient conditions for its right ring of fractions to be right $S$-Noetherian or right Noetherian. As applications, the $S$-variant of Eakin–Nagata–Eisenbud theorem is applied to the composite polynomial, composite power series and composite skew polynomial rings.

We show that a simple Noetherian ring of finite global dimension and Krull dimension one is Monta equivalent to a domain.In [4] is given an example of a simple Noetherian ring that is not Morita equivalent to a domain.Now the ring in question has infinite global dimension but Krull dimension one.In contrast, we show here that if R is a simple Noetherian ring of finite global dimension and Krull dimension one, then R is Morita equivalent to a domain.This is a corollary of Theorem 1, which gives a generalisation of this result to simple rings of arbitrary finite Krull dimension.Throughout this note all rings will contain an identity and all modules will be unitary.We will denote the uniform dimension of a module M by ud(M) and the projective dimension by pd(M).The left Krull dimension of a ring R

Nil subrings of the endomorphism ring of a module with finite Krull dimension sequence are nilpotent. This includes the case of a module with finite Krull dimension as well as noetherian modules. The method used is to embed the endomorphism ring, modulo a nilpotent ideal, in the endomorphism ring of an artinian object of a Grothendieck category.

Let A be an integral domain, X an analytic indeterminate over A and I a proper ideal (not necessarily prime) of A. In this paper, we study the ring [Formula: see text] First, we study the prime spectrum of R. We prove that the contraction map: Spec (A[[X]]) → Spec (R); Q ↦ Q ∩ R induces a homeomorphism, for the Zariski's topologies, from {Q ∈ Spec (A[[X]]) | XI[[X]] ⊈ Q} onto {P ∈ Spec (R) | XI[[X]] ⊈ P}. If P ∈ Spec (R) is such that XI[[X]] ⊆ P then there exists p ∈ Spec (A) such that P = p + XI[[X]]. Next, we study the Krull dimension of R. We give a necessary condition for R to be of finite Krull dimension. In particular, if R is of finite dimension then I must be an SFT ideal of A. Then we determine bounds for dim (R). Examples are given to indicate the sharpness of the results. In case I is a maximal ideal of A and A is either a Noetherian ring, SFT Prüfer domain or A[[X]] is catenarian and I SFT, we establish that dim (R) = dim (A[[X]]) = dim (A) + 1. Finally, we examine the possible transfer of the LFD property and the catenarity between the rings A, A[[X]] and R in case I is a maximal ideal of A.

Totally acyclic complexes

Let R be an associative ring with identity, and let denote the category of unital left R-modules. The Walkers [6] raised the question of characterizing the maximal torsion radicals of , and showed that if R is commutative and Noetherian, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between maximal torsion radicals and minimal prime ideals of R [6, Theorem 1.29]. Popescu announced [5, Theorem 2.5] that the result remains valid for commutative rings with Gabriel dimension (in the terminology of [2]). Theorem 4.6 below shows that the result holds for rings (not necessarily commutative) with Krull dimension on either the left or right, extending the previous theorem for right Noetherian rings which appeared in [1].

We characterize the left Noetherian rings by the existence of decompositions of left modules into direct sums of an injective submodule and a submodule containing no injective submodule except 0. We also prove that a left Noetherian ring is left hereditary iff the suspension of each left ideal (see [7]) is injective or, equivalently, the above decomposition is unique.0. Let A be an Abelian group.Then A = D B, where D is divisible and B is reduced in the sense of Kaplansky [8]; that is, B has no divisible submodule except 0. If this holds for left modules over a unitary ring R, with "injective" and "/-reduced" replacing "divisible" and "reduced", respectively, then R must be left Noetherian.The proof requires the theorem of Eilenberg-Bass (see, e.g., Theorem 20.1, p. Ill, of [2]) which characterizes left Noetherian by the requirement that direct sums of injective left modules are injective.Furthermore, if the decomposition, which will be referred to as an i-decomposition, is unique in the sense that D is the unique injective submodule of A for which A = D ffi B, with B /-reduced, then every sum of injective submodules is injective, and hence R must be left hereditary by a theorem of Matlis [9].At the same time, it will be shown that a left Noetherian ring is left hereditary iff the suspension of each left ideal is injective.

SynopsisFor each ring R, we construct a topological space pt (R) which includes as a subspace both the classical spectrum specR and the torsion theoretic spectrum R-sp. For many rings (e.g. rings with Krull dimension), spec R is a retract of pt (R) and the retraction map θ generalizes the Gabriel correspondence for noetherian rings. There is a natural decomposition theory on MOD-R which extends the Goldman theory in the same way that the tertiary theory extends the primary theory. The map θ provides a direct comparison between this new decomposition theory and the tertiary theory. The space pt (R) is closely connected with the lattice of hereditary torsion theories on R, and for fully bounded (not necessarily noetherian) R, this connection is very tight.

We introduce and study lattice-finite Noetherian rings and show that they form a onedimensional analogue of representation-finite Artinian rings. We prove that every lattice-finite Noetherian ring R has Krull dimension ≼ 1, and that R modulo its Artinian radical is an order in a semi-simple ring. Our main result states that maximal overorders of R exist and have to be Asano orders, while they need not be fully bounded. This will be achieved by means of an idempotent ideal I(R), an invariant or R which is new even for classical orders R. This ideal satisfies I(R) = R whenever R is maximal.

ABSTRACTWe extend the definition of a piecewise Noetherian ring to the noncommutative case, and investigate various properties of such rings. In particular, we show that a ring with Krull dimension is piecewise Noetherian. Certain fully bounded piecewise Noetherian rings have Gabriel dimension and exhibit the Gabriel correspondence between prime ideals and indecomposable injective modules.

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the set of primes associated to a graded ring extension of Noetherian multigraded rings and modules, and prove that the periodicity occurs in a cone. We also prove the same asymptotic behavior of the grade. The previous known results on this subject are recovered as a special case.
