Noetherian ring

Summary

In mathematics, a Noetherian ring is a ring that satisfies the ascending chain condition on left and right ideals; if the chain condition is satisfied only for left ideals or for right ideals, then the ring is said left-Noetherian or right-Noetherian respectively. That is, every increasing sequence I_1\subseteq I_2 \subseteq I_3 \subseteq \cdots of left (or right) ideals has a largest element; that is, there exists an n such that: I_{n}=I_{n+1}=\cdots. Equivalently, a ring is left-Noetherian (resp. right-Noetherian) if every left ideal (resp. right-ideal) is finitely generated. A ring is Noetherian if it is both left- and right-Noetherian. Noetherian rings are fundamental in both commutative and noncommutative ring theory since many rings that are encountered in mathematics are Noetherian (in particular the ring of integers, polynomial rings, and rings of algebraic integers in number fields), and many general theorems on rings rely heavily on Noetherian pro

Projective modules over the real algebraic sphere of dimension 3

Jean Fasel

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring of Krull dimension 3. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for A-projective modules of rank 2 to be free. Using this, we show that all the finitely generated projective modules over the algebraic real 3-sphere are free. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Chow-Witt groups and Grothendieck-Witt groups of regular schemes

Jean Fasel

Let A be a noetherian commutative Z[1/2]-algebra of Krull dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We use derived Grothendieck-Witt groups and Euler classes to detect some obstructions for P to split off a free factor of rank one. If d

Relative Homological Algebra Via Truncations

Jérôme Scherer

To do homological algebra with unbounded chain complexes one needs to first find a way of constructing resolutions. Spal-tenstein solved this problem for chain complexes of R-modules by truncating further and further to the left, resolving the pieces, and gluing back the partial resolutions. Our aim is to give a homotopy theoretical interpretation of this procedure, which may be extended to a relative setting. We work in an arbitrary abelian category A and fix a class of "injective objects" I. We show that Spaltenstein's construction can be captured by a pair of adjoint functors between unbounded chain complexes and towers of non-positively graded ones. This pair of adjoint functors forms what we call a Quillen pair and the above process of truncations, partial resolutions, and gluing, gives a meaningful way to resolve complexes in a relative setting up to a split error term. In order to do homotopy theory, and in particular to construct a well behaved relative derived category D(A;I), we need more: the split error term must vanish. This is the case when I is the class of all injective R-modules but not in general, not even for certain classes of injectives modules over a Noetherian ring. The key property is a relative analogue of Roos's AB4*-n axiom for abelian categories. Various concrete examples such as Gorenstein homological algebra and purity are also discussed.
