Cardinalities of Residue Fields of Noetherian Integral Domains

Abstract: Abstract. We determine the relationship between the cardinality of a Noetherian integral domain and the cardinality of a residue field. One consequence of the main result is that it is provable in ZFC that there is a Noetherian domain of cardinality ℵ 1 with a finite residue field, but the statement "There is a Noetherian domain of cardinality ℵ 2 with a finite residue field" is equivalent to the negation of the Continuum Hypothesis.

“…Some work has already been done in this direction. Specifically, Kearnes and the author determined the possible sizes of residue fields of Noetherian integral domains in [9]. Further, Gilmer and Heinzer have shown ( [7]) that if R is a commutative Noetherian (not necessarily local) ring and n is a positive integer, then there are but finitely many ideals I of R of index n.…”

“…Finally, we are in position to prove our next theorem. We mention that the following theorem is an adaptation of the proof of Lemma 2.1 of [9], where the possible cardinalities of residue fields of an infinite Noetherian domain were obtained (Lemma 2.1 says nothing useful about cardinalities of ideals in this context, since all nonzero ideals of a domain have the same cardinality).…”

“…Proof. The existence of such a with the above properties is established in Theorem 2.6 of [32]. The construction is quite technical, and we suppress the details here (we remark that the ideas of the construction are due to C. Shah; see Theorem 2.3 of [33]).…”

“…In [31], Levitz and Mott extend their results to rings without identity. In related work, Kearnes and the author of [32] as well as Shah [33] study the possible cardinalities of residue fields of Noetherian integral domains. (The work [32] corrects many of the results in [33] which are flawed due to an error in cardinal arithmetic (namely, that…”
