If $A$ is a ring and $Z(A)$ is its center then what is a sufficient condition for the projective dimension of $A$ over $Z(A)$ (ie: $pd_{Z(A)}(A)$) to be finite?

(Assuming that $A\neq Z(A)$).

  • $\begingroup$ @CSA: You could ask that $Z(A)$ has finite global dimension. Perhaps explaining what example you have in mind may help us to give you a more useful sufficient condition. $\endgroup$
