Show that Weyl algebra is noetherian

492 Views Asked by At

Let $k$ be a field. I want to show that the ring $D=k\left[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n,\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1},\frac{\partial}{\partial x_2},\dots,\frac{\partial}{\partial x_n}\right]$ which acts on $k[x_1,x_2,...,x_n]$ is noetherian ring given that $\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}x_j=x_j\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}(i\not= j),\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}x_i-x_i\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}=1,\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_j}=\frac{\partial}{\partial x_j}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i},x_ix_j=x_jx_i$.

How to show this? I've tried to apply some theorems like Hilbert's basis theorem and also find a surjective ring homomorphism $\varphi$ from some noetherian rings onto $D$ but failed. Also $D$ is noncommutative so somehow this made the problem harder.

Your answer would be appreciated.
