Some examples of modules over Noetherian rings

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to prove the following result.Theorem 1. Let n be an integer greater than zero. There exists a prime Noetherian ring R of Krull dimension n + 1 and a finitely generated essential extension W of a simple R-module V suchthat(i) W has Krull dimension n, and(ii) W/V is n-critical and cannot be embedded in any of its proper submodules.We refer the reader to [6] for the definition and properties of Krull dimension.
