In
mathematics, the
Noether normalization lemma is a result of
commutative algebra, introduced by
Emmy Noether in 1926. A simple version states that for any
field k, and any
finitely generated commutative
k-algebra A, there exists a nonnegative integer
d and
algebraically independent elements
y1,
y2, ...,
yd in
A such that
A is a finitely generated module over the polynomial ring
S:=
k[
y1,
y2, ...,
yd].
