Linear equations over noncommutative graded rings

[摘要] We call a graded connected algebra R effectively coherent, if for every linear equation over R with homogeneous coefficients of degrees at most d, the degrees of generators of its module of solutions are bounded by some function D(d). For commutative polynomial rings, this property has been established by Hermann in 1926. We establish the same property for several classes of noncommutative algebras, including the most common class of rings in noncommutative projective geometry, that is, strongly Noetherian rings, which includes Noetherian PI algebras and Sklyanin algebras. We extensively study so-called universally coherent algebras, that is, such that the function D(d) is bounded by 2d for d >> 0. For example, finitely presented monomial algebras belong to this class, as well as many algebras with finite Groebner basis of relations. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Inc.
