Injective modules and linear growth of primary decompositions

From MaRDI portal





The main result is that in a commutative Noetherian ring for every ideal \(I\) there exists a positive integer \(h\) such that for all positive integers \(n\) there exists a primary decomposition of \(I^n\) such that the \(hn\)-th power of each associated prime is contained in its own component appearing in this primary decomposition. This had been previously proved by the reviewer [\textit{I. Swanson}, Math. Ann. 307, No. 2, 299-313 (1997; Zbl 0869.13001)]; and by \textit{W. Heinzer} and the reviewer [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125, No. 2, 387-392 (1997; Zbl 0860.13002)]. The techniques in this paper are very different and powerful, using the annihilators of certain submodules of injective modules. The author also generalizes these results to primary decompositions of modules.
