Finitistic dimensions of noetherian rings

Fully Bounded Noetherian Rings

Let i : A → R be a ring morphism, and χ : R → A a right R-linear map with χ(χ(r)s) = χ(rs) and χ(1 R) = 1 A. If R is a Frobenius A-ring, then we can define a trace map tr : A → A R. If there exists an element of trace 1 in A, then A is right FBN if and only if A R is right FBN and A is right noetherian. The result can be generalized to the case where R is an I-Frobenius A-ring. We recover resul...

Finitistic Dimensions of Monomial Algebras

Theorem. (Auslander-Buchsbaum-Serre, 1956; see [2] and [24].) Let V be an affine algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field with coordinate ring R. Then the global dimension of R is finite if and only if V is smooth. If this is the case, then gl dimR = dimV . (That the global dimension of R is bounded above by n means that n-fold iteration of the process of taking syzygies of R-module...

On Nonnil-Noetherian Rings

Let R be a commutative ring with 1 such that Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal of R. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of rings that is closely related to the class of Noetherian rings. A ring R is called a Nonnil-Noetherian ring if every nonnil ideal of R is finitely generated. We show that many of the properties of Noetherian rings are also true for Nonnil-Noetherian rings; ...

Rigid left Noetherian rings

Let R be an associative ring. A map σ : R → R is called a ring endomorphism if σ(x+y) = σ(x)+σ(y) and σ(xy) = σ(x)σ(y) for all elements a,b ∈ R. A ring R is said to be rigid if it has only the trivial ring endomorphisms, that is, identity idR and zero 0R . Rigid left Artinian rings were described by Maxson [9] and McLean [11]. Friger [4, 6] has constructed an example of a noncommutative rigid r...
