We study the “q-commutative” power series ring R := kq[[x1, . . . , xn]], defined by the relations xixj = qijxjxi, for mulitiplicatively antisymmetric scalars qij in a field k. Our results provide a detailed account of prime ideal structure for a class of noncommutative, complete, local, noetherian domains having arbitrarily high (but finite) Krull, global, and classical Krull dimension. In par...

Let Γ denote a group of finite virtual cohomological dimension and p a prime. If the cohomology ring H∗(Γ;Fp) has Krull dimension one, the p-period of Γ is defined; it measures the periodicity of H∗(Γ;Fp) in degrees above the virtual cohomological dimension of Γ. The Yagita invariant p(Γ) of Γ is a natural generalization of the p-period to groups with H∗(Γ;Fp) of Krull dimension larger than one...

The notion of deviation of an ordered set has been introduced by Gabriel as a tool to classify rings. It measures how far a given ordered set P deviates from ordered sets satisfying the descending chain condition. We consider here a more general notion and, according to Robson, we define the Krull dimension of P as the deviation of the collection F(P) of its final segments ordered by inclusion....

Given an ideal a in A[x1, . . . , xn] where A is a Noetherian integral domain, we propose an approach to compute the Krull dimension of A[x1, . . . , xn]/a, when the residue class ring is a free A-module. When A is a field, the Krull dimension of A[x1, . . . , xn]/a has several equivalent algorithmic definitions by which it can be computed. But this is not true in the case of arbitrary Noetheri...

Brown and Gordon asked whether the Poisson Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence holds for any complex affine Poisson algebra; that is, whether the sets of Poisson rational ideals, Poisson primitive ideals, and Poisson locally closed ideals coincide. In this article a complete answer is given to this question using techniques from differential-algebraic geometry and model theory. In particular, it is sho...

It is shown that every commutative arithmetic ring R has λ-dimension ≤ 3. An example of a commutative Kaplansky ring with λ-dimension 3 is given. Moreover, if R satisfies one of the following conditions, semi-local, semi-prime, self f p-injective, zero-Krull dimensional, CF or FSI then λ-dim(R) ≤ 2. It is also shown that every zero-Krull dimensional commu-tative arithmetic ring is a Kaplansky r...
