Abstract:
The following converse of the Hilbert Syzygy Theorem is proved. Suppose $K$ is a noetherian commutative ring with identity that has finite global dimension, and suppose that $M$ is a finitely generated abelian cancellative monoid. If ${\text {gl}}\dim KM = n + {\text {gl}}\dim K$ then $M$ is of the form $( \times _{i = 1}^n{M_i}) \times H$ where ${M_i} \cong {\mathbf {Z}}$ or ${\mathbf {N}}$ and where $H$ is a finite group with no $K$-torsion.References
