This book gathers, in a beautifully structured way, recent findings on chain conditions in commutative algebra that were previously only available in papers. The majority of chapters are self-contained, and all include detailed proofs, a wealth of examples and solved exercises, and a complete reference list. The topics covered include S-Noetherian, S-Artinian, Nonnil-Noetherian, and Strongly Hopfian properties on commutative rings and their transfer to extensions such as polynomial and power series rings, and more. Though primarily intended for readers with a background in commutative rings,...
