Noetherian fixed rings

Daniel Reuven Farkas and Robert L. Snider

Vol. 69 (1977), No. 2, 347–353
Abstract

One of the basic questions of noncommutative Galois theory is the relation between a ring R and the ring S fixed by a group of automorphisms of R. This paper explores what happens when the group is finite and the fixed ring S is assumed to be Noetherian. Easy examples show that R may not be Noetherian; however, in this paper it is shown that R is Noetherian with some rather natural assumptions. More precisely we prove the Theorem 2: Let S be a semiprime ring. Assume that G is a finite group of automorphisms of S and that S has no |G|-torsion. If SG is left noetherian then S is left noetherian.
