Primary decomposition over rings graded by finitely generated abelian groups (Q2470357)

Let \(A\) be a commutative noetherian ring which is graded by a finitely generated abelian group \(G\). A result of Bourbaki says that if \(G\) is a torsion free, then the associated primes of finitely generated \(G\)-graded \(A\)-modules \(M\) are \(G\)-graded as well, and a \(G\)-graded primary decomposition of \(G\)-graded submodules of \(M\) does exist. In this paper the authors introduce in a natural manner the concept of a similar \(G\)-graded primary decomposition in case \(G\) has torsion, and show the existence of such decompositions.
