Let M be a R graded module with $M= \oplus M_i$. If M is noetherian then $M_i=0$ for i << 0. My question is this, isn't $M_i = 0$ for all i >> 0 as well? If $(M_{n_i})_{i} \neq 0, n_i > 0$ then $M_{n_1} \nsubseteq M_{n_1} \oplus. .. M_{n_2} \nsubseteq M_{n_1} \oplus. .. M_{n_2} \oplus. .. M_{n_3} \nsubseteq. ..$ isn't a contradiction with ACC rule?

Is $R$ a $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring? Then is $M$ a graded $R$-module, compatible with $R$'s grading? If that's the case, then the various $M_i$ you are writing are not even $R$-modules, they are $R_0$-modules. –  Karl Schwede Jun 17 '11 at 20:01
K you are right. My mistake is that they are not R modules. –  mark Jun 17 '11 at 20:50
The mathoverflow bot just bumped this to the front page. Maybe you should just accept Mariano's answer below to prevent this from happening again. Really, the comment above answers the question, but mathoverflow wants you to accept an answer before it considers this question resolved. –  David White Jul 2 '11 at 16:03

Pick your favorite noetherian graded ring $R$, and consider the free module $M=R$. Are you saying it must vanish in high degree?
