A result of Artin, Small, and Zhang is used to show that a noetherian algebra over a commutative, noetherian Jacobson ring will be Jacobson if the algebra possesses a locally finite, noetherian associated graded ring. This result is extended to show that if an algebra over a commutative noetherian ring has a locally finite, noetherian associated graded ring, then the intersection of the powers ...

The twisted homogeneous coordinate ring is one of the basic constructions of the noncommutative projective geometry of Artin, Van den Bergh, and others. Chan generalized this construction to the multi-homogeneous case, using a concept of right ampleness for a finite collection of invertible sheaves and automorphisms of a projective scheme. From this he derives that certain multi-homogeneous rin...
