The multivariate Serre conjecture ring

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: It is well-known that for any commutative unitary ring mathbfR, the Serre conjecture ring mathbfRlangleXangle, i.e., the localization of the univariate polynomial ring mathbfR[X] at monic polynomials, is a B'ezout domain of Krull dimension leq1 if so is mathbfR. Consequently, defining by induction mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xnangle:=(mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xn−1angle)langleXnangle, the ring mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xnangle is a B'ezout domain of Krull dimension leq1 if so is mathbfR. The fact that mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xnangle is a B'ezout domain when mathbfR is a valuation domain of Krull dimension leq1 was the cornerstone of Brewer and Costa's theorem stating that if mathbfR is a one-dimensional arithmetical ring then finitely generated projective mathbfR[X1,dots,Xn]-modules are extended. It is also the key of the proof of the Gr"obner Ring Conjecture in the lexicographic order case, namely the fact that for any valuation domain mathbfR of Krull dimension leq1, any ninmathbbN>0, and any finitely generated ideal I of mathbfR[X1,dots,Xn], the ideal operatornameLT(I) generated by the leading terms of the elements of I with respect to the lexicographic monomial order is finitely generated. Since the ring mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xnangle can also be defined directly as the localization of the multivariate polynomial ring mathbfR[X1,dots,Xn] at polynomials whose leading coefficients according to the lexicographic monomial order with X1<X2<cdots<Xn is 1, we propose to generalize the fact that mathbfRlangleX1,ldots,Xnangle is a B'ezout domain of Krull dimension leq1 if so is mathbfR to any rational monomial order, bolstering the evidence for the Gr"obner Ring Conjecture in the rational case.
