Jul 26, 2011 at 10:12 comment added Torsten Ekedahl A more highbrow explanation: $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is, as module over the constant-coefficient DO's, the injective hull of $k$ and as such is Artinian because the ring is Noetherian as is $k$ as module (the proof of this general fact is essentially by the argument Tom gives).

Jul 26, 2011 at 10:06 comment added Tom Goodwillie I meant "homogeneous ideal". I have edited accordingly.

Jul 16, 2011 at 13:04 comment added Tom Goodwillie If $T_1$ properly contains $T_2$ then for some $D$ there is a degree $d$ polynomial in $T_1$ but not $T_2$. Then there is an element of degree $d$ in $D$ that annihilates one but not the other.
Jul 16, 2011 at 11:31 comment added user16456 "An infinite descending chain $T_{\alpha}$ would give an infinite ascending chain $I(T_{\alpha})$..." This is true only if $T_1\ne T_2$ implies that the closure of $T_1$ is different from the closure of $T_2$.If $T_1$ and $T_2$ have the same closure, then $I(T_1)$ and $I(T_2)$ are the same.
