Does 'finite + finitely presented as an algebra' equal 'finitely presented as a module'?

It appears that in the meantime, full proofs have been added to the Stacks Project. Tag 0564. Let $R \to S$ be a finite and finitely presented ring map. Let $M$ be an $S$-module. Then $M$ is finit …

Constructively correct notion of unique factorization domain

Recall the well-known proof that a unique factorization domain is a GCD domain: Let $x, y \in R \setminus \{ 0 \}$. Factor $x$ and $y$ into pairwise non-associated irreducible elements: $$\begin{a …

Is there a universal property for graded localization?

It seems that Martin has provided the answer which Daniel sought. But the question in the title doesn't appear to be answered yet: Is there a universal property for graded localization? More precisely …

When can we prove constructively that a ring with unity has a maximal ideal?

If the ring is countable (or the image of a linear well-ordering), then no choice of any kind (not even countable choice) and in fact not even the law of excluded middle is required: There is an expli …

Alternate proofs of Hilberts Basis Theorem

Sorry, this is not an answer, but rather a too-long elaboration on constructive aspects. I post this here because there was some interest about the constructive content of the theorem in the comments. …

Affine communication lemma and finite limits in the category of rings

I think that Section 11 on transfer principles in these notes of mine is what you're looking for. A general machinery abstracts the business of tracking all the $f_i$'s and the required high powers. T …

Can the methods of classical algebraic geometry be made rigorous with a synthetic approach?

Is it possible to do algebraic geometry in a synthetic manner that enables rigorous reasoning but is closer to the style of argument employed by classical algebraic geometers? I sure hope so. You …

constructive Serre classes

Any subclass $\mathcal{C}$ of an abelian category determines a smallest Serre class containing it, by iteratively adding (the zero object and) the object $Y$ for any exact sequence $X \to Y \to Z$ whe …

Constructively, is the unit of the “free abelian group” monad on sets injective?

Yes! Here is a proof which is slightly different from both your proof and the proof in Mines–Richman–Ruitenberg. First define the similarity relation on $\mathrm{List}(R \times X)$ as in Mines–Richma …

Joyal's construction of the spectrum of a commutative ring

Since I don't know precisely which parts of Lawvere's article you have difficulties with, this answer is a bit a long and tries to give a bit of context. If you want me to be more specific at some poi …

Constructive proof that a kernel consists of nilpotent elements

This answer provides a scheme how to construct a constructive proof, though I'm still working to actually explicitly extract the constructive proof, so please don't accept the answer just yet. (Update …
