The dilworth number of group rings over an artin local ring (Q4515475)

Let \(A\) be a commutative ring with identity. Let \((A,m)\) be an Artin local ring and let \(I\) be an ideal of \(A\). Let \(\mu(I)\) denote the minimal number of elements required to generate the ideal \(I\). The Dilworth number \(d(A)\) of \((A,m)\) is defined as \(\max\{\mu(I)\mid I\) an ideal of \(A\}\) and the Sperner number is \(sp(A)=\max\{\mu(m^i)\mid i\geq 0\}\). Let \(G\) be a cyclic \(p\)-group, let \(p\in m\) and let \(R\) be the group ring of \(G\) over \(A\). In this paper the equality \(d(R)=sp(R)\) is proved and \(d(R)\) is determined. For the unramified case \(pA=m\) the number \(d(R)\) was determined by \textit{J. S. Okon, D. E. Rush} and \textit{P. Vicknair} [in Commun. Algebra 25, No. 3, 803-831 (1997; Zbl 0908.13011)].
