Let R be an associative ring with identity, and let denote the category of unital left R-modules. It is known that if R is a commutative, Noetherian ring, then the maximal torsion radicals of correspond to the minimal prime ideals of R. In fact, Nӑstӑsescu and Popescu [15, Proposition 2.7] have given a more general result valid for arbitrary commutative rings. This paper investigates maximal torsion radicals over rings not necessarily commutative.

Let R be an associative ring with identity, and let denote the category of unital left R-modules. The Walkers [6] raised the question of characterizing the maximal torsion radicals of , and showed that if R is commutative and Noetherian, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between maximal torsion radicals and minimal prime ideals of R [6, Theorem 1.29]. Popescu announced [5, Theorem 2.5] that the result remains valid for commutative rings with Gabriel dimension (in the terminology of [2]). Theorem 4.6 below shows that the result holds for rings (not necessarily commutative) with Krull dimension on either the left or right, extending the previous theorem for right Noetherian rings which appeared in [1].

Let $R$ be an equidimensional commutative Noetherian ring of positive dimension. The dual graph $\mathcal{G} (R)$ of $R$ is defined as follows: the vertices are the minimal prime ideals of $R$, and the edges are the pairs of prime ideals $(P_1,P_2)$ with height$(P_1 + P_2) = 1$. If $R$ satisfies Serre's property $(S_2)$, then $\mathcal{G} (R)$ is connected. In this note, we provide lower and upper bounds for the maximum diameter of dual graphs of Stanley-Reisner rings satisfying $(S_2)$. These bounds depend on the number of variables and the dimension. Dual graphs of $(S_2)$ Stanley-Reisner rings are a natural abstraction of the $1$-skeletons of polyhedra. We discuss how our bounds imply new Hirsch-type bounds on $1$-skeletons of polyhedra.

LetEbe an injective module over the commutative Noetherian ringA, and letabe an ideal ofA. TheA-module (0:Eα) has a secondary representation, and the finite set AttA(0:Eα) of its attached prime ideals can be formed. One of the main results of this note is that the sequence of sets (AttA(0:Eαn))n∈Nis ultimately constant. This result is analogous to a theorem of M. Brodmann that, ifMis a finitely generatedA-module, then the sequence of sets (AssA(M/αnM))n∈Nis ultimately constant.

This is the second of two papers based on Chapter V of the author's Ph.D. thesis [K1]. For acknowledgements please refer to [K3]. In this paper I apply some of the ideas and techniques introduced in [K3] to the study of a very specific example. I obtain an upper bound for the positive Deissler rank of an injective module over a commutative Noetherian ring in terms of Krull dimension. The problem of finding lower bounds is vastly more difficult and is not addressed here, although I make a few comments and a conjecture at the end.For notation, terminology and definitions, I refer the reader to [K3]. I also use material on ideals and injective modules from [N] and [Ma]. Deissler's rank was introduced in [D].For the most part, in this paper all modules are unitary left modules over a commutative Noetherian ring Λ but in §1 I begin with a few useful results on totally transcendental modules and the relation between Deissler's rank rk and rk+.Recall that if P is a prime ideal of Λ, then an ideal I of Λ is P-primary if I ⊂ P, λ ∈ P implies that λn ∈ I for some n and if λµ ∈ I, λ ∉ P, then µ ∈ I. The intersection of finitely many P-primary ideals is again P-primary, and any P-primary ideal can be written as the intersection of finitely many irreducible P-primary ideals since Λ is Noetherian. Every irreducible ideal is P-primary for some prime ideal P. In addition, it will be important to recall that if P and Q are prime ideals, I is P-primary, J is Q-primary, and J ⊃ I, then Q ⊃ P. (All of these results can be found in [N].)

We assume that the reader is familiar with the program of “reverse mathematics” and the development of countable algebra in subsystems of second order arithmetic. The subsystems we are using in this paper are RCA0, WKL0 and ACA0. (The reader who wants to learn about them should study [1].) In [1] it was shown that the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a prime ideal” is equivalent to Weak Konig's Lemma over RCA0, while the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a maximal ideal” is equivalent to Arithmetic Comprehension over RCA0. Our main result in this paper is that the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a minimal prime ideal” is equivalent to Arithmetic Comprehension over RCA0. Minimal prime ideals play an important role in the study of countable commutative rings; see [2, pp. 1–7].

A finitely generated module over a commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension can be built from the prime ideals in the singular locus by iteration of three procedures: taking extensions, direct summands, and cosyzygies. In 2003 Schoutens gave a bound on the number of iterations required to build any module, and in this note we determine the exact number. This building process yields a stratification of the module category, which we study in detail for local rings that have an isolated singularity.

Let E be an injective module over a commutative Noetherian ring A (with non-zero identity), and let a be an ideal of A. The submodule (0:Eα) of E has a secondary representation, and so we can form the finite set AttA(0:Eα) of its attached prime ideals. In [1, 3.1], we showed that the sequence of sets is ultimately constant; in [2], we introduced the integral closure a*(E) of α relative to E, and showed that is increasing and ultimately constant. In this paper, we prove that, if a contains an element r such that rE = E, then is ultimately constant, and we obtain information about its ultimate constant value.

In his paper [1], M. Brodmann showed that if M is a1 finitely generated module over the commutative Noetherian ring R (with identity) and a is an ideal of R then the sequence of sets {Ass(M/anM)}n∈ℕ and {Ass(an−1M/anM)}n∈ℕ (where ℕ denotes the set of positive integers) are eventually constant. Since then, the theory of asymptotic prime divisors has been studied extensively: in [5], Chapters 1 and 2], for example, various results concerning the eventual stable values of Ass(R/an;) and Ass(an−1/an), denoted by A*(a) and B*(a) respectively, are discussed. It is worth mentioning that the above mentioned results of Brodmann still hold if one assumes only that A is a commutative ring (with identity) and M is a Noetherian A-module, and AssA(M), in this situation, is regarded as the set of prime ideals belonging to the zero submodule of M for primary decomposition.

Let K be a commutative noetherian ring. It is proved that a representation of a finite group on a K-module of finite length or on a K-module of finite exponent has a finite basis for its identities. In particular, this implies an earlier result of Nguyen Hung Shon and the author stating that every representation of a finite group over a field is finitely based. The problem whether every representation of a finite group over a commutative noetherian ring is finitely based still remains open.
