From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the adjective Noetherian is used to describes objects that satisfy an ascending chain condition on certain kinds of subobjects; in particular,

  • Noetherian ring, a ring that satisfies the ascending chain condition on ideals
  • Noetherian module, a module that satisfies the ascending chain condition on submodules

  • Emmy Noether, who was the first to study the ascending and descending chain conditions for rings, and for whom the term is named.
