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, relation and/or condition:
“Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“To be a good enough parent one must be able to feel secure in one’s parenthood, and one’s relation to one’s child...The security of the parent about being a parent will eventually become the source of the child’s feeling secure about himself.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old. I have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken, the doctrine of immortality is announced; it cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baffles our wit, and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the inference from the working of intellect, hiving knowledge, hiving skill,—at the end of life just ready to be born,—affirms the inspirations of affection and of the moral sentiment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
