In commutative algebra , a regular ring is a commutative noetherian ring , such that the localization of a ring localization at every prime ideal is a regular local ring that is, every such localization has the property that the minimal number of generators of its maximal ideal is equal to its Krull dimension . Jean Pierre Serre defines a regular ring as a commutative noetherian ring of finite global homological dimension and shows that this is equivalent to the definition above. For regular rings, Krull dimension agrees with global homological dimension. Examples of regular rings include fields of dimension zero and Dedekind domain s. If A is regular then so is A X , with dimension one greater than that of A . See also von Neumann regular ring , a different concept with a similar name.
