Template:Mergefrom In commutative algebra, the Krull dimension of a commutative ring R, named after Wolfgang Krull, is the supremum of the lengths of all chains of prime ideals. The Krull dimension need not be finite even for a Noetherian ring. More generally the Krull dimension can be defined for modules over possibly non-commutative rings as the deviation of the poset of submodules.

The Krull dimension has been introduced to provide an algebraic definition of the dimension of an algebraic variety: the dimension of the affine variety defined by an ideal I in a polynomial ring R is the Krull dimension of R/I.

A field k has Krull dimension 0; more generally, k[x₁, ..., x_n] has Krull dimension n. A principal ideal domain that is not a field has Krull dimension 1. A local ring has Krull dimension 0 if and only if every element of its maximal ideal is nilpotent.

Explanation

We say that a chain of prime ideals of the form ${\mathfrak {p}}_{0}\subsetneq {\mathfrak {p}}_{1}\subsetneq \ldots \subsetneq {\mathfrak {p}}_{n}$ has length n. That is, the length is the number of strict inclusions, not the number of primes; these differ by 1. We define the Krull dimension of $R$ to be the supremum of the lengths of all chains of prime ideals in $R$.

Given a prime ${\mathfrak {p}}$ in R, we define the height of ${\mathfrak {p}}$, written $\operatorname {ht} ({\mathfrak {p}})$, to be the supremum of the lengths of all chains of prime ideals contained in ${\mathfrak {p}}$, meaning that ${\mathfrak {p}}_{0}\subsetneq {\mathfrak {p}}_{1}\subsetneq \ldots \subsetneq {\mathfrak {p}}_{n}\subseteq {\mathfrak {p}}$. In other words, the height of ${\mathfrak {p}}$ is the Krull dimension of the localization of R at ${\mathfrak {p}}$. A prime ideal has height zero if and only if it is a minimal prime ideal. The Krull dimension of a ring is the supremum of the heights of all maximal ideals, or those of all prime ideals.

In a Noetherian ring, every prime ideal has finite height. Nonetheless, Nagata gave an example of a Noetherian ring of infinite Krull dimension. A ring is called catenary if any inclusion ${\mathfrak {p}}\subset {\mathfrak {q}}$ of prime ideals can be extended to a maximal chain of prime ideals between ${\mathfrak {p}}$ and ${\mathfrak {q}}$, and any two maximal chains between ${\mathfrak {p}}$ and ${\mathfrak {q}}$ have the same length. Nagata gave an example of a Noetherian ring which is not catenary.

Krull dimension and schemes

It follows readily from the definition of the spectrum of a ring Spec(R), the space of prime ideals of R equipped with the Zariski topology, that the Krull dimension of R is equal to the dimension of its spectrum as a topological space, meaning the supremum of the lengths of all chains of irreducible closed subsets. This follows immediately from the Galois connection between ideals of R and closed subsets of Spec(R) and the observation that, by the definition of Spec(R), each prime ideal ${\mathfrak {p}}$ of R corresponds to a generic point of the closed subset associated to ${\mathfrak {p}}$ by the Galois connection.

Examples

• The dimension of a polynomial ring over a field k[x₁, ..., x_n] is the number of variables n. In the language of algebraic geometry, this says that the affine space of dimension n over a field has dimension n, as expected. In general, if R is a Noetherian ring of dimension n, then the dimension of R[x] is n + 1. If the Noetherian hypothesis is dropped, then R[x] can have dimension anywhere between n + 1 and 2n + 1.

• The ring of integers Z has dimension 1. More generally, any principal ideal domain that is not a field has dimension 1.

• An integral domain is a field if and only if its Krull dimension is zero. Dedekind domains that are not fields (for example, discrete valuation rings) have dimension one. A Noetherian ring is Artinian if and only if its Krull dimension is 0.

• An integral extension of a ring has the same dimension as the ring does.

• Let R be an algebra over a field k that is an integral domain. Then the Krull dimension of R is less than or equal to the transcendence degree of the field of fractions of R over k. The equality holds if R is finitely generated as algebra (for instance by the noether normalization lemma).

• Let R be a noetherian ring, I an ideal and $\operatorname {gr} _{I}(R)=\oplus _{0}^{\infty }I^{k}/I^{k+1}$ be the associated graded ring (geometers call it the ring of the normal cone of I.) Then $\operatorname {dim} \operatorname {gr} _{I}(R)$ is the supremum of the heights of maximal ideals of R containing I.

• A Noetherian local ring is called a Cohen–Macaulay ring if its dimension is equal to its depth. A regular local ring is an example of such a ring.

Krull dimension of a module

If R is a commutative ring, and M is an R-module, we define the Krull dimension of M to be the Krull dimension of the quotient of R making M a faithful module. That is, we define it by the formula:

$\operatorname {dim} _{R}M:=\operatorname {dim} (R/\operatorname {Ann} _{R}(M))$

where Ann_R(M), the annihilator, is the kernel of the natural map R → End_R(M) of R into the ring of R-linear endomorphisms of M.

In the language of schemes, finitely generated modules are interpreted as coherent sheaves, or generalized finite rank vector bundles.

Krull dimension for non-commutative rings

The Krull dimension of a module over a possibly non-commutative ring is defined as the deviation of the poset of submodules ordered by inclusion. For commutative Noetherian rings, this is the same as the definition using chains of prime ideals. The two definitions can be different for commutative rings which are not Noetherian.

Anticipate to have a proportionate amount deducted out of your deposit if something is discovered to be damaged if you move out. It's best to you'll want to test the inventory drawn up by the owner, which can detail all objects in the property and their condition. If you happen to fail to notice any harm not already mentioned within the inventory before transferring in, you danger having to pay for it yourself.
  
  In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet. As soon as if you end up positive that a selected agent is dependable and reliable, you can choose to utilize his partnerise in finding you a home in Singapore. Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

  Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.
  
  15.6.1 As the agent is an intermediary, generally, as soon as the principal and third party are introduced right into a contractual relationship, the agent drops out of the image, subject to any problems with remuneration or indemnification that he could have against the principal, and extra exceptionally, against the third occasion. Generally, agents are entitled to be indemnified for all liabilities reasonably incurred within the execution of the brokers´ authority.
