Resumen de Krull Dimension of Injective Modules Over Commutative Noetherian Rings

Patrick F. Smith

• Let R be a commutative Noetherian integral domain with field of fractions Q. Generalizing a forty-year-old theorem of E. Matlis, we prove that the R-module Q/R (or Q) has Krull dimension if and only if R is semilocal and one-dimensional. Moreover, if X is an injective module over a commutative Noetherian ring such that X has Krull dimension, then the Krull dimension of X is at most 1
