We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

We observe that a finitely generated algebraic algebra R (over a field) is finite dimensional if and only if the associated graded ring grR is right noetherian, if and only if grR has right Krull dimension, if and only if grR satisfies a…

We show that for both the unary relation of transcendence and the finitary relation of algebraic independence on a field, the degree spectra of these relations may consist of any single computably enumerable Turing degree, or of those c.e.…

We introduce the notion of independent sequences with respect to a monomial order by using the least terms of polynomials vanishing at the sequence. Our main result shows that the Krull dimension of a Noetherian ring is equal to the…

This paper explores the dimension theory of non-Noetherian graded rings by introducing the class of Hilbert-Serre rings. We generalize Krull's dimension theorem and Smoke's dimension theorem by establishing the fundamental inequalities…

Let D be a division algebra over a base field k. The homological transcendence degree of D, denoted by Htr D, is defined to be the injective dimension of the enveloping algebra of D. We show that Htr has several useful properties which the…

We prove the finiteness of the genus of finite-dimensional division algebras over many infinitely generated fields. More precisely, let $K$ be a finite field extension of a field which is a purely transcendental extension of infinite…

AF-rings are algebras over a field k which satisfy the Altitude Formula over k. This paper surveys a few works in the literature on the Krull and valuative dimensions of tensor products of AF-rings. The first section extends Wadsworth's…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional division algebra containing a base field $k$ in its center $F$. We say that $A$ is defined over a subfield $F_0$ of $F$ if $A = A_0\otimes_{F_0} F$ for some $F_0$-subalgebra $A_0$ of $A$. We show that: (1) In…

We introduce a naive notion of a system of parameters for a homologically finite complex over a commutative noetherian local ring, and compare it to the system of parameters defined by Christensen. We show that these notions differ in…

We investigate the relationship between the level of a bounded complex over a commutative ring with respect to the class of Gorenstein projective modules and other invariants of the complex or ring, such as projective dimension, Gorenstein…

String algebras, in the usual sense, are finite-dimensional algebras over a given ground field. We recall a generalisation of the definition of a string algebra, which was introduced in a previous paper of the author. This generalisation…

If $R$ is an integral domain and $A$ is an $R$-algebra, then $A$ has the {\it Laurent cancellation property over $R$} if $A^{[\pm n]}\cong_RB^{[\pm n]}$ implies $A\cong_RB$ ($n\ge 0$ and $B$ an $R$-algebra). Here, $A^{[\pm n]}$ denotes the…

We characterize intermediate $\mathbb{R}$-algebras $A$ between the ring of semialgebraic functions ${\mathcal S}(X)$ and the ring ${\mathcal S}^*(X)$ of bounded semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $X$ as rings of fractions of…

The classical Gelfand-Kirillov dimension for algebras over fields has been extended recently by J. Bell and J.J Zhang to algebras over commutative domains. However, the behavior of this new notion has not been enough investigated for the…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

We show that the Rouquier dimension of the category of perfect complexes over a regular ring is precisely the Krull dimension of the ring. Previously, it was known that the Krull dimension is an upper bound, the lower bound however was not…

We prove that cellular Noetherian algebras with finite global dimension are split quasi-hereditary over a regular commutative Noetherian ring with finite Krull dimension and their quasi-hereditary structure is unique, up to equivalence. In…

Let $A$ be a commutative arithmetical ring. The ring $A$ has Krull dimension if and only if every factor ring of $A$ is finite-dimensional and does not have idempotent proper essential ideals. The study is supported by Russian Science…

A theorem of O. Forster says that if $R$ is a noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$, then any projective $R$-module of rank $n$ can be generated by $d+n$ elements. S. Chase and R. Swan subsequently showed that this bound is sharp: there…
