Download or read book Modules over Valuation Rings written by László Fuchs and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1985-03-27 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book initiates a systematic, in-depth study of Modules Over Valuation Domains. It introduces the theory of modules over commutative domains without finiteness conditions and examines frontiers of current research in modules over valuation domains. It represents a unique effort to combine ideas from abelian group theory, in a large scale, with powerful techniques developed in module theory. This volume surveys the background material on valuation rings, modules and homological algebra ... features new results for important classes of modules such as finitely generated, divisible, pure-injective, and projective dimension one -- never published before ... contains exercises and research problems -- offering guidance for independent and creative study ... and provides historical notes, comments, and an extensive bibliography. Mathematicians and advanced graduate-level mathematics students interested in module theory, abelian group theory, and commutative ring theory can stay abreast of the latest advances with Modules Over Valuation Domains.
