Ring-theoretic properties of commutative algebras of invariants

Kantor, Isaiah LU and Rowen, L H (2003) In Journal of Algebra 266(1). p.239-260
Abstract
The commutative algebra of invariants of a Lie super-algebra need not be affine, but does have a common ideal with an affine algebra, in all the known examples. This leads us to extend a class of algebras C to a class which we call "nearly C", by admitting those algebras C having a common ideal A with an algebra (containing C) in C such that C/A is an element of C. We generalize this notion slightly. study the prime ideals of such algebras, and extend some of the standard theorems about affine algebras, Noetherian rings, and Dedekind domains. Our main theorem is that nearly affine domains are catenary, and the Krull dimension equals the transcendence degree of the quotient field. Nevertheless, it is known that nearly affine domains need... (More)
