ON SOME TYPES OF NOETHERIAN MODULES (Q4819320)

A group \(G\) is FC-hypercentral if it is hypercentral with respect to the finite conjugacy property. For example, if \(G\) is Abelian-by-finite, then each element of the Abelian subgroup has finitely many \(G\)-conjugates and hence is contained in the FC-center of \(G\). In particular, \(G\) modulo the FC-center is finite, and hence \(G\) is FC-nilpotent of class at most 2. This paper discusses modules for the group ring \(DG\), where \(G\) is an FC-hypercentral locally solvable group and where \(D\) is a Dedekind domain. Indeed, let \(A\) be a \(DG\)-module on which \(G\) acts faithfully and assume that: (a) \(A\) is not monolithic, that is the intersection of all nonzero \(DG\)-submodules of \(A\) is 0; (b) \(A\) is strong Noetherian, that is \(A\) is not Noetherian as a \(D\)-module, but every proper \(DG\)-factor module of \(A\) is Noetherian as a \(D\)-module. The main result here asserts that if \(A\) exists then: (1) \(G\) has a normal Abelian subgroup \(U\) of finite index; (2) the periodic part of \(U\) is a subgroup of finite (special) rank; and (3) if \(D\) has characteristic \(p>0\), then \(O_p(G)=1\).
