Which of the following rings is not Noetherian ?

  • A.\(\mathbf{R}[x_{1}, x_{2}, ........]\)
  • B.\(\mathbf{Z}[i]\)
  • C.\(\mathbf{Z}\)
  • D.\(\mathbf{Z}_{205}[x]\)

Answer: A

The ring that is not Noetherian is \(\mathbf{R}[x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots]\).

In the polynomial ring in infinitely many variables, the chain of ideals

\[ \begin{aligned} (x_{1}) &\subset (x_{1}, x_{2}) \\ &\subset (x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}) \subset \cdots \end{aligned} \]

is strictly increasing and never stops, so the ascending chain condition fails. The ideal generated by all the variables is not finitely generated.

\(\mathbf{Z}\) and \(\mathbf{Z}[i]\) are PIDs, hence Noetherian, and \(\mathbf{Z}_{205}[x]\) is Noetherian by Hilbert's basis theorem, since \(\mathbf{Z}_{205}\) is a finite ring and so Noetherian.
