Chain Conditions On Annihilator Ideals
The lattice of ideals of the form where S is a subset of R comprise a complete lattice when partially ordered by inclusion. It is interesting to study rings for which this lattice (or its right counterpart) satisfy the ascending chain condition or descending chain condition.
Denote the lattice of left annihilator ideals of R as and the lattice of right annihilator ideals of R as . It is known that satisfies the A.C.C. if and only if satisfies the D.C.C., and symmetrically satisfies the A.C.C. if and only if satisfies the D.C.C. If either lattice has either of these chain conditions, then R has no infinite orthogonal sets of idempotents. (Anderson 1992, p.322) (Lam 1999)
If R is a ring for which satisfies the A.C.C. and RR has finite uniform dimension, then R is called a left Goldie ring. (Lam 1999)

Famous quotes containing the words chain, conditions and/or ideals:
“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The real weakness of England lies, not in incomplete armaments or unfortified coasts, not in the poverty that creeps through sunless lanes, or the drunkenness that brawls in loathsome courts, but simply in the fact that her ideals are emotional and not intellectual.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
