Abstract

In this paper, we prove that if R is a commutative ring with unity and M is a finitely generated R-module, then M is Noetherian if and only if for every prime ideal P of R with \(Ann(M) \subseteq P\), there exists a finitely generated submodule \(N_P\) of M such that \(PM \subseteq N_P \subseteq M(P)\).
