Extract

Throughout R will denote a commutative ring with identity, A,B etc. will denote ideals of R, and E will denote a unitary R-module. We recall from [5] the definition of homological grade hgrR(A;E) as inf{r|ExtRr(R/A,E) ≠ 0}, and we allow both hgrR(A;E) = ∞ (i.e. ExtRr(R/A,E) = 0 for all r) and AE = E. For the most part E will be Noetherian, in which case hgrR(A;E) coincides with the usual grade grR(A;E) which is the supremum of the lengths of the (weak) E-sequences contained in A (see [7], for example).
