Surely the Hilbert Basis Theorem fails when there is an infinite number of variables. If this is the case, then the theorem needs to be specified a little more precisely.

Best Wishes, Max Murphy (Dr, Permutation Patterns).

[edit] slightly more general?

immediately following is the case of a single variable, without multidegrees etc., it doesn't read well. 24.59.111.68 05:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

  • the proposition "R Noetherian --> R[X] Noetherian" is a chainable proposition : If R is Noetherian then R[X] is Noetherian and so (R[X])[Y] is Noetherian and (R[X])[Y] is just R[X,Y] and so on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Novwik (talkcontribs) 21:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
