Abstract:
Let D be a Dedekind domain and M a rank-one torsion-free D-module. An analysis of $A = {S_D}(M)$, the symmetric algebra of M, yields the following information: Theorem. (1) Tor-dim $A \leqslant 2\;and\; = 1\;iff\;M = K$, the quotient field of D; (2) A is coherent; (3) Global $\dim A = 2$. For higher rank modules coherence is not assured and only rough estimates of the dimensions are found. On the other hand, if ${S_D}(M)$ is a domain of global dimension two, then M has rank one but the dimension of D may be two. If D is local of dimension two then $M = K$.References
