Commutative Ring Theory and Applications - Hardback

Featuring presentations from the Fourth International Conference on Commutative Algebra held in Fez, Morocco, this reference presents trends in the growing area of commutative algebra. With contributions from nearly 50 internationally renowned researchers, the book emphasizes innovative applications and connections to algebraic number theory, geometry, and homological and computational algebra. Presenting challenging problems of contemporary interest, discussions include linear Diophantine equations, going-down and going-up properties, and graded modules and analytic spread. They also cover algebroid curves and chain conditions, ideals and modules, and integral independence.
