Abstract:
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Gaussian ring $R$ to be semihereditary, or more generally, of $w.dimR\leq 1$. Investigating the weak global dimension of a Gaussian coherent ring $R$, we show that the only values $w.dimR$ may take are $0,1$ and $\infty$; but that $fP.dimR$ is always at most one. In particular, we conclude that a Gaussian coherent ring $R$ is either Von Neumann regular, or semihereditary, or non-regular of $w.dimR=\infty$.References
