How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1389419 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Krull dimension
Krull dimension is a fundamental invariant in commutative algebra that measures the "size" of a ring by the maximum length of chains of its prime ideals.
-
D.
Noetherian rings
Noetherian rings are a fundamental class of rings in commutative algebra characterized by the property that every ascending chain of ideals stabilizes, ensuring that all ideals are finitely generated.
-
E.
Hilbert basis theorem
The Hilbert basis theorem is a fundamental result in commutative algebra stating that if a ring is Noetherian then any polynomial ring over it is also Noetherian, ensuring that ideals in such rings are finitely generated.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
