Abstract

In classical mathematics, Gulliksen has introduced the length of Noetherian modules, and Brookfield has determined the length of Noetherian polynomial rings. Brookfield's result can be regarded as a quantitative version of Hilbert's basis theorem. In this paper, based on the inductive definition of Noetherian modules in constructive algebra, we introduce a constructive version of the length called α\alpha-Noetherian modules, and present a constructive proof of some results by Brookfield. As a consequence, we obtain a new constructive proof of dimK[X0,,Xn1]<1+n\dim K[X_0,\ldots,X_{n-1}]<1+n and dimZ[X0,,Xn1]<2+n\dim\mathbb{Z}[X_0,\ldots,X_{n-1}]<2+n, where KK is a discrete field.
