On Preservation Properties and a Special Algebraic Characterization of Some Stronger Forms of the Noetherian Condition
We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is $I-$adically complete. Moreover, we offer as a direct corollary a new elementary proof of the fact that if a ring is Noetherian then the corresponding ring of formal power series in finitely many variables is Noetherian. In addition, we give a counterexample showing that the `completion' condition cannot be avoided on the former theorem. Lastly, we give an elementary characterization of Noetherian commutative rings that can be decomposed as a finite direct product of fields.
