Noetherian algebras over algebraically closed fields. (Q876341)

Let \(k\) be a field. A left Noetherian \(k\)-algebra \(A\) is called `stably left Noetherian' if for any extension field \(K\) of \(k\) the algebra \(A\otimes_kK\) is again left Noetherian. The main result of the paper asserts that if \(A\) is a countably generated left Noetherian algebra over an uncountable algebraically closed field \(k\), then \(A\) is stably left Noetherian. As a consequence, it follows that all subfields of the quotient division algebra of a countably generated left Noetherian domain over an uncountable algebraically closed field \(k\) are finitely generated extensions of \(k\).
