module-finite


Let S be a ring with subring R.

We say that S is module-finite over R if S is finitely generatedMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath as an R-module.

We say that S is ring-finite over R if S=R[v1,,vn] for some v1,,vnS.

Note that module-finite implies ring-finite, but the converse is false.

If L is ring-finite over K, with L,K fields, then L is a finite extensionMathworldPlanetmath of K.
