We demonstrate a class of local (Noetherian) unique factorization domains (UFDs) that are noncatenary at infinitely many places. In particular, if $A$ is in our class of UFDs, then the prime spectrum of $A$ contains infinitely many disjoint…

The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$, among all ideals $I$ in $R$. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of Noetherian rings $R$ whose rank is not equal to the supremum of ranks of…
