Review text

One of the main results of the reviewing article (proved by \textit{R.~Finn} in his Ph. D. thesis) is the following theorem which improves a series of facts established earlier: If \(A\) is a von Neumann regular ring and the tightness of the space \(\text{Max}(A)\) of all maximal ideals of \(A\) is equal to \(\aleph_{n}\), then the global dimension of \(A\) is at least \(n+1\). In particular, if \(A\) is a complete Boolean ring and the global dimension \(\text{gd}(A)\) of \(A\) is finite, then \(\text{gd}(A)=k+1\), where \(\aleph_{k}= |A|\). The authors also show that the global dimension of \(C(X)\) is at least 3 for any Tychonoff space \(X\), except for the case when \(X\) is a \(P\)-space. Under CH, however, there exists a non-discrete \(P\)-space \(X\) such that \(\text{gd}(C(X))=2\).
