Bazzoni-Glaz conjecture (Q743908)

\textit{H. Tsang} [Gauss's Lemma. PhD thesis, University of Chicago (1965)] introduced Gaussian rings, which are defined as follows. If \(R\) is a commutative ring and \(f(x)=a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n\in R[x]\), then the content of \(f\) is the ideal \(c(f):=Ra_0+Ra_1+\cdots+Ra_n\). The ring \(R\) is called Gaussian if for all \(f\) and \(g\) in \(R[x]\) we have \(c(fg)=c(f)c(g)\). In [J. Algebra 310, No. 1, 180--193 (2007; Zbl 1118.13020)], \textit{S. Bazzoni} and \textit{S. Glaz} made the following conjecture: The weak global dimension of a Gassian ring is either \(0\), \(1\) or \(\infty\). In the paper under review, the authors prove the above conjecture.
