Noetherian rings and modules #
The following are equivalent for a module M over a ring R:
- Every increasing chain of submodules M₁ ⊆ M₂ ⊆ M₃ ⊆ ⋯ eventually stabilises.
- 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
.
IsNoetherian R M
is the proposition thatM
is a NoetherianR
-module. It is a class, implemented as the predicate that allR
-submodules ofM
are finitely generated.
Main statements #
isNoetherian_iff
is the theorem that an R-module M is Noetherian iff>
is well-founded onSubmodule R M
.
Note that the Hilbert basis theorem, that if a commutative ring R is Noetherian then so is R[X],
is proved in RingTheory.Polynomial
.

A version of isNoetherian_pi
for non-dependent functions. We need this instance because
sometimes Lean fails to apply the dependent version in non-dependent settings (e.g., it fails to
prove that ι → ℝ
is finite dimensional over ℝ
).

A module is Noetherian iff every nonempty set of submodules has a maximal submodule among them.
If ∀ I > J, P I
implies P J
, then P
holds for all submodules.
A linearly-independent family of vectors in a module over a non-trivial ring must be finite if the module is Noetherian.
If the first and final modules in an exact sequence are Noetherian, then the middle module is also Noetherian.
For an endomorphism of a Noetherian module, any sufficiently large iterate has disjoint kernel and range.
Orzech's theorem for Noetherian modules: if R
is a ring (not necessarily commutative),
M
and N
are R
-modules, M
is Noetherian, i : N →ₗ[R] M
is injective,
f : N →ₗ[R] M
is surjective, then f
is also injective. The proof here is adapted from
Djoković's paper Epimorphisms of modules which must be isomorphisms [djokovic1973],
utilizing LinearMap.iterateMapComap
.
