Krull dimension of a local ring and completion

Let $\Gamma$ be the group $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}$ with the lexicographic ordering. Then any valuation ring $A$ with value group $\Gamma$ is a counterexample. Indeed, the maximal ideal of $A$ is ...

"Noetherian" and "finitely generated" for polynomial algebras

The following example of Eakin [Eak72] says that $n = 2$ already suffices. I have tried to fill in some details to (hopefully) make the example independent from the rest of Eakin's paper. Example [...

An infinite dimensional local domain whose chains of primes are finite

Choose a field $k$ and a Noetherian $k$-algebra $R$ of infinite dimension. (I know you know such a thing exists.) Let $R' \subset R[x]$ be the set of polynomials $f = \sum a_i x^i$ whose constant term ...

Local ring of infinite dimension

Let $k$ be a field. Let $x_{i, j}$, $1 \leq j \leq i \in \mathbf{N}$ be variables. Consider the ring $$ R = k[x_{i, j}]/(x_{i, j} x_{i', j'}, i \not = i') $$ Let $\mathfrak m$ be the maximal ideal ...

Algebras whose subalgebras are finitely generated

Non-noetherian cohomology and base change

The answer to the question about flatness is no and here is a counterexample. Let $S_n = \mathbf{A}^1$ with coordinate $t$ for $n\geq 1$ (over some base field). Let $$ \mathcal{A}_n = \mathcal{O}_{\...

Algebras whose subalgebras are finitely generated

I'll assume that $k$ is noetherian. I'll just write $k$-ACC, or ACC if no ambiguity, to mean the ascending chain condition on $k$-subalgebra. (For $k$ arbitrary, $A=k$ is the only $k$-subalgebra of ...

Completion of a local ring is noetherian (under some hypothesis)

We can just follow the proof from the stacks tag linked from the one suggested by Keerthis Madapusi but under your hypothesis. Let $a_1,\dots,a_r$ in $R$ generate $\mathfrak m/\mathfrak m^2$. Then the ...

Is a universally closed monomorphism a closed immersion?

There is a non-surjective epimorphism $B\to C$ where $B$ and $C$ are zero-dimensional local rings (D. Lazard, see http://www.numdam.org/item/SAC_1967-1968__2__A8_0/). Then $\mathrm{Spec}\,(C)\to \...

Algebras such that the tensor product with any Noetherian algebra is Noetherian

A (not necessarily commutative) algebra $A$ over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ is called strongly noetherian if for every noetherian $R$-algebra $R'$ the extension $A \otimes_R R'$ is noetherian. ...

Higher direct images along proper morphisms in the non-Noetherian setting

Tensor products of two domains

Tensor products of two domains

Torsion submodules of non-noetherian modules

Take the $k[x,y]$-module with generators $a_n, n\in \mathbb N$ and relations $$x a_1= ya_1=0$$ $$x a_{2n}+ ya_{2n+1} =a_n$$ Let $\mathfrak a=(x,y)$, then clearly $\mathfrak a M = M$. The $\mathfrak ...

Proof of the coherence of ${\Bbb F}_q[[X_1,\dots,X_{\infty}]]$

I do not see where the inequality $$ |(A_{n,m})^∗|^{δ_{n,m}}≤|M_{n,m}| $$ comes from. Different choices of $δ_{n,m}$-tuples of elements of $(A_{n,m})^∗$ could give rise to the same element of $M_{n,m}$...

Is $Hom_R(S_X^{-1}R, E)$ the minimal injective cogenerator of $S_X^{-1}R$?
