Noetherian rings and modules #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

The following are equivalent for a module M over a ring R:

  1. Every increasing chain of submodules M₁ ⊆ M₂ ⊆ M₃ ⊆ ⋯ eventually stabilises.
  2. Every submodule is finitely generated.

A module satisfying these equivalent conditions is said to be a Noetherian R-module. A ring is a Noetherian ring if it is Noetherian as a module over itself.

(Note that we do not assume yet that our rings are commutative, so perhaps this should be called "left Noetherian". To avoid cumbersome names once we specialize to the commutative case, we don't make this explicit in the declaration names.)

Main definitions #

Let R be a ring and let M and P be R-modules. Let N be an R-submodule of M.

Main statements #

Note that the Hilbert basis theorem, that if a commutative ring R is Noetherian then so is R[X], is proved in ring_theory.polynomial.
