Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the Krull dimension (in the sense of Gabriel and Rentschler) of a differential operator ring $S[\theta ;\delta ]$, where $S$ is a right noetherian ring with finite Krull dimension $n$ and $\delta$ is a derivation on $S$. The main theorem states that $S[\theta ;\delta ]$ has Krull dimension $n$ unless there exists a simple right $S$-module $A$ such that $A{ \otimes _S}S[\theta ;\delta ]$ is not simple (as an $S[\theta ;\delta ]$-module) and $A$ has height $n$ in the sense that there exist critical right $S$-modules $A = {A_0},{A_1},\ldots ,{A_n}$ such that each ${A_i} \otimes _s S[\theta ;\delta ]$ is a critical $S[\theta ;\delta ]$-module, each ${A_i}$ is a minor subfactor of ${A_{i + 1}}$ and ${A_n}$ is a subfactor of $S$. If such an $A$ does exist, then $S[\theta ;\delta ]$ has Krull dimension $n + 1$. This criterion is simplified when $S$ is fully bounded, in which case it is shown that $S[\theta ;\delta ]$ has Krull dimension $n$ unless $S$ has a maximal ideal $M$ of height $n$ such that either ${\text {char(}}S/M) > 0$ or $\delta (M) \subseteq M$, and in these cases $S[\theta ;\delta ]$ has Krull dimension $n + 1$.References
