A quantitative general Nullstellensatz for Jacobson rings

Commutative Algebra 2025-02-18 v1

Abstract

The general Nullstellensatz states that if AA is a Jacobson ring, A[X]A[X] is Jacobson. We introduce the notion of an α\alpha-Jacobson ring for an ordinal α\alpha and prove a quantitative version of the general Nullstellensatz: if AA is an α\alpha-Jacobson ring, A[X]A[X] is (α+1)(\alpha+1)-Jacobson. The quantitative general Nullstellensatz implies that K[X1,,Xn]K[X_1,\ldots,X_n] is not only Jacobson but also (1+n)(1+n)-Jacobson for any field KK. It also implies that Z[X1,,Xn]\mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n] is (2+n)(2+n)-Jacobson.
