However, if $S$ is non-Noetherian, both of these notions become more subtle. Prime ideals in this scenario may then be categorized as associated primes, weakly associated primes, strong Krull primes, and Krull primes, respectively $\Ass_S(M)$, $\wAss_{S} (M)$, $\sK_S(M)$, and $\K_S(M)$. Likewise, any study of depth must distinguish between $\cdepth_S(M)$, $\kdepth_S(M)$, and $\rdepth_S(M)$.67 pagesenCopyright 2017 George WhelanMathematicsDissertation
