Growth of graded noetherian rings

We show that every graded locally finite right noetherian algebra has sub-exponential growth. As a consequence, every noetherian algebra with exponential growth has no finite dimensional filtration which leads to a right (or left) noetherian associated graded algebra. We also prove that every connected graded right noetherian algebra with finite global dimension has finite GK-dimension. Using this, we can classify all connected graded noetherian algebras of global dimension two.

     

Desingularization of quasi-excellent schemes in characteristic zero

Grothendieck proved in EGA IV that if any integral scheme of finite type over a locally noetherian scheme X admits a desingularization, then X is quasi-excellent, and conjectured that the converse is probably true. We prove this conjecture for noetherian schemes of characteristic zero. Namely, starting with the resolution of singularities for algebraic varieties of characteristic zero, we prove the resolution of singularities for noetherian quasi-excellent Q-schemes.     

On Finite Basis Property for Joins of Varieties of Associative Rings

If all finitely generated rings in a variety of associative rings satisfy the ascending chain condition on two-sided ideals, the variety is called locally weak noetherian. If there is an upper bound on nilpotency indices of nilpotent rings in a variety, the variety is called a finite index variety. We prove that the join of a finitely based locally weak noetherian variety and a variety of finite index is also finitely based and locally weak noetherian. One consequence of this result is that if an associative ring variety is connected by a finite path in the lattice of all associative ring varieties to a finitely based locally weak noetherian variety then such variety is also finitely based and locally weak noetherian.     

Equations in polyadic groups

Systems of equations and their solution sets are studied in polyadic groups. We prove that a polyadic group (G,f)?=?der_𝜃,b(G,?) is equational noetherian, if and only if the ordinary group (G,?) is equational noetherian. The structure of coordinate polyadic group of algebraic sets in equational noetherian polyadic groups is also determined.     

Lattice Properties of Torsion Theories

The main purpose of this brief note is to show that the sets of all hereditary torsion theories which are noetherian, strongly noetherian, or of finite type, respectively, form a sublattice of the lattice of all hereditary torsion theories for the category R-mod.     

广义幂级数环的Morita对偶

设A,B是有单位元的环, (S,≤)是有限生成的Artin的严格全序幺半群, AMB是双模.本文证明了双模[[AS,≤]][MS,≤][[BS,≤]]定义一个Morita对偶当且仅当 AMB定义一个Morita对偶且A是左noether的,B是右noether的.因此A上的广 义幂级数环[[AS,≤]]具有Morita对偶当且仅当A是左noether的且具有由双模AMB 诱导的Morita对偶,使得B是右noether的.     

Gorenstein Modules and Dualizing Modules

In this article, we study the characterizations of Gorenstein injective left S-modules and finitely generated Gorenstein projective left R-modules when there is a dualizing S-R-bimodule associated with a right noetherian ring R and a left noetherian ring S.     

Noetherian Semigroup Algebras

A complete structural characterization of submonoids S of apolycyclic-by-finite group such that the semigroup algebra K[S]over a field K is right noetherian is obtained. It follows thatsuch algebras are also left noetherian. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 16P40, 16S36, 20M25 (primary), 20F22, 20C07,20M10 (secondary).     

A local-global principle for the telescope conjecture

We prove an étale local-global principle for the telescope conjecture and use it to show that the telescope conjecture holds for derived categories of Azumaya algebras on noetherian schemes as well as for many classifying stacks and gerbes. This specializes to give another proof of the fact that the telescope conjecture holds for noetherian schemes.     

Topological algebras with ascending or descending chain condition

We examine some topological algebras with ascending or descending chain condition. We prove that a commutative noetherian F-algebra is necessarily a Q-algebra. We characterize noetherian F-algebras which are Q-algebras among those whose left ideals are closed. We show that any commutative artinian m-convex algebra is finite dimensional.     

Valuations with preassigned proximity relations

We characterize the infinite upper triangular matrices (which we call formal proximity matrices) that can arise as proximity matrices associated with zero-dimensional valuations dominating regular noetherian local rings. In particular, for every regular noetherian local ring R of the appropriate dimension, we give a sufficient condition for such a formal proximity matrix to be the proximity matrix associated with a real rank one valuation dominating R. Furthermore, we prove that in the special case of rational function fields, each formal proximity matrix arises as the proximity matrix of a valuation whose value group is computable from the formal proximity matrix. We also give an example to show that this is false for more general fields. Finally in the case of characteristic zero, our constructions can be seen as a particular case of a structure theorem for zero-dimensional valuations dominating equicharacteristic regular noetherian local rings.     

On completions of non-commutative noetherian rings

It is shown that if I is an ideal of a ring R ,and I has a centralising set of generators then the I-adic completion [Rcirc] is left noetherian if either R/I is left artinian or R is left noetherian.     

Generic noncommutative surfaces

We study a class of noncommutative surfaces, and their higher dimensional analogs, which come from generic subalgebras of twisted homogeneous coordinate rings of projective space. Such rings provide answers to several open questions in noncommutative projective geometry. Specifically, these rings R are the first known graded algebras over a field k which are noetherian but not strongly noetherian: in other words, R⊗_kB is not noetherian for some choice of commutative noetherian extension ring B. This answers a question of Artin, Small, and Zhang. The rings R are also maximal orders, but they do not satisfy all of the χ conditions of Artin and Zhang. In particular, they satisfy the χ₁ condition but not χ_i for i?2, answering a question of Stafford and Zhang and a question of Stafford and Van den Bergh. Finally, we show that the noncommutative scheme R-proj has finite global dimension.     

Noetherianity of the space of irreducible representations

LetR be an associative ring with identity. We study an elementary generalization of the classical Zariski topology, applied to the set of isomorphism classes of simple leftR-modules (or, more generally, simple objects in a complete abelian category). Under this topology the points are closed, and whenR is left noetherian the corresponding topological space is noetherian. IfR is commutative (or PI, or FBN) the corresponding topological space is naturally homeomorphic to the maximal spectrum, equipped with the Zariski topology. WhenR is the first Weyl algebra (in characteristic zero) we obtain a one-dimensional irreducible noetherian topological space. Comparisons with topologies induced from those on A. L. Rosenberg’s spectra are briefly noted. The author’s research was supported in part by NSF grants DMS-9970413 and DMS-0196236.     

Goldie Ranks of Skew Power Series Rings of Automorphic Type

Let A be a semprime, right noetherian ring equipped with an automorphism α, and let B: = A[[y; α]] denote the corresponding skew power series ring (which is also semiprime and right noetherian). We prove that the Goldie ranks of A and B are equal. We also record applications to induced ideals.     

Endomorphism rings of essential extensions of a noetherian module

Nil subrings of the ring of endomorphisms of the rational completion of a noetherian module are nilpotent. If the quasi-injective hull of a noetherian module is contained in its rational completion, then the ring of endomorphisms of the former is semi-primary.     

P.I. rings and the localization at height 1 prime ideals

LetR be a prime P.I. ring, finitely generated over a central noetherian subring. LetP be a height one prime ideal inR. We establish a finite criteria for the left (right) Ore localizability ofP, providedP/P ² is left (right) finitely generated. This replaces the noetherian assumption onR appearing in [BW], using an entirely different technique.     

Structure of A*-Fibrations over One-Dimensional Seminormal Semilocal Domains

In this paper we give a structure theorem for an A*-fibration over a one-dimensional noetherian seminormal semilocal domain and show that, in this situation, any A*-fibration whose spectrum occurs as an affine open subscheme of the spectrum of an A¹-fibration (equivalently, an affine line A¹) is actually A*. The structure theorem provides examples of A*-fibrations over one-dimensional noetherian seminormal semilocal domains whose spectra are not affine open subschemes of any affine line A¹ over the base ring. We also construct examples of nontrivial A*-fibrations over one-dimensional noetherian non-seminormal local domains whose spectra are open subschemes of A¹-fibrations over the base ring.     

Gorenstein injective envelopes and covers over two sided noetherian rings

We prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules is both enveloping and covering over a two sided noetherian ring such that the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat. In the second part of the paper we consider the connection between the Gorenstein injective modules and the strongly cotorsion modules. We prove that when the ring R is commutative noetherian of finite Krull dimension, the class of Gorenstein injective modules coincides with that of strongly cotorsion modules if and only if the ring R is in fact Gorenstein.     

Uniform rank over schmidt differential operator rings

This paper is concerned with the question of when a Schmidt differential operator ring S over a ring R must have the same uniform rank or reduced rank as R. Also, some information about those prime ideals of R which are invariant under a Schmidt higher derivation is derived. All rings in this paper are associative with unit and all modules are unital right modules.

In [1], Bell and Goodearl proved that for a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt extension T of a ring R, the rank of T and the rank of R agree when R is a right noetherian ring with no Z-torsion which is tame as a right module over itself. In this paper, we show that for a Schmidt differential operator ring S over a right noetherian ring R with no Z-torsion which is tame as a right module over itself the rank of S and the rank of R agree. Also, for any right noetherian R, it is proved that R_R and S_S have the same reduced rank.
