is ring finite over
Suppose is module finite over
Then
for some
Thus
1.42. Show is ring-finite over
but not module finite.
Clearly is ring finite by definition. Observe for any finite set
there exists a polynomial
of maximum degree
No polynomial in
of degree
or more is in the submodule generated by
1.43.* If is ring-finite over
(with
fields) then
is a finitely generated field extension of
Suppose with
Then
and
is a finitely generated field extension of
1.44.* Show is a finitely generated field extension of
but is not ring-finite over
It suffices to show is not ring-finite over
Suppose
with
Let
be a common denominator for
Let
such that
Then
so
for some
But
while
a contradiction.
1.45.* Let be a subring of
a subring of
(a) If
show
Let Then
each
Moreover,
each
Thus
(b) If and
then
Note that if then
for some
Each coefficient of
is in
Evaluating we have
The converse follows by factoring.
(c) If are fields,
and
then
Let The elements
are contained in an extension field
of
Observe that
is a subfield of
containing
thus
Clearly Moreover,
So
