Global dimension of real-exponent polynomial rings

Nathan Geist and Ezra Miller

Vol. 17 (2023), No. 10, 1779–1788
Abstract

The ring R of real-exponent polynomials in n variables over any field has global dimension n + 1 and flat dimension n. In particular, the residue field k = R𝔪 of R modulo its maximal graded ideal 𝔪 has flat dimension n via a Koszul-like resolution. Projective and flat resolutions of all R-modules are constructed from this resolution of k . The same results hold when R is replaced by the monoid algebra for the positive cone of any subgroup of n satisfying a mild density condition.
