Relation To The Noetherian Condition
Unlike the case of rings, there are Artinian modules which are not Noetherian modules. For example, consider the p-primary component of, that is, which is isomorphic to the p-quasicyclic group, regarded as -module. The chain does not terminate, so (and therefore ) is not Noetherian. Yet every descending chain of (without loss of generality) proper submodules terminates: Each such chain has the form for some integers ..., and the inclusion of implies that must divide . So ... is a decreasing sequence of positive integers. Thus the sequence terminates, making Artinian.
Over a commutative ring, every cyclic Artinian module is also Noetherian, but over noncommutative rings cyclic Artinian modules can have uncountable length as shown in the article of Hartley and summarized nicely in the Paul Cohn article dedicated to Hartley's memory.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to the, relation to, relation and/or condition:
“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized. Poems beginning “When” are much more numerous than those beginning “Where” of “If.” As the meter is running, the recurrent message tapped out by the passing of measured time is mortality.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
“The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
