Krull's Principal Ideal Theorem in non-Noetherian settings

Commutative Algebra 2020-02-19 v1

Abstract

Let PP be a finitely generated ideal of a commutative ring RR. Krull's Principal Ideal Theorem states that if RR is Noetherian and PP is minimal over a principal ideal of RR, then PP has height at most one. Straightforward examples show that this assertion fails if RR is not Noetherian. We consider what can be asserted in the non-Noetherian case in place of Krull's theorem.
