On $A\otimes_k B$ being noetherian

40 Views Asked by At

Let $k$ be a field, and let $A, B$ be commutative noetherian $k$-algebras.

If either $A$ or $B$ is a localization of a finite type $k$-algebra, then clearly $A\otimes_k B$ is noetherian.

  1. Assume $A=B$. If $A\otimes_k A$ is noetherian, is $A$ a localization of a finite type $k$-algebra?

  2. More generally, if $A\otimes_k B$ is noetherian, is at least one of $A,B$ a localization of a finite type $k$-algebra?

I could not find any such examples, but also not proofs of these facts.
