Abstract:Let R be a commutative ring and A be an R-module. The Mal'cev rank A of A is the sup of genN , where N ranges over the finitely generated submodules of A, and genN is the minimum number of generators of N . We prove that is both subadditive and pre-additive as an invariant of Mod R . Our main goal is to investigate for modules over pseudo-valuation domains. Specifically, we establish which pseudovaluation domains R satisfy the property that an R-module of finite Mal'cev rank must be finitely generated. We spli… Show more
