Classes of Modules
1st Edition
By John Dauns, Yiqiang Zhou
June 19, 2006
Because traditional ring theory places restrictive hypotheses on all submodules of a module, its results apply only to small classes of already well understood examples. Often, modules with infinite Goldie dimension have finite-type dimension, making them amenable to use with type dimension, but ...
Non-Unique Factorizations: Algebraic, Combinatorial and Analytic Theory
1st Edition
By Alfred Geroldinger, Franz Halter-Koch
January 13, 2006
From its origins in algebraic number theory, the theory of non-unique factorizations has emerged as an independent branch of algebra and number theory. Focused efforts over the past few decades have wrought a great number and variety of results. However, these remain dispersed throughout the vast ...
