G=: ff 1 2 (? l 2... 2ff B 2^ 1={l} of subgroups such that, for each i e (1, 2,..., n}, Gi+ 1 is a normal subgroup of Gi and the factor group GJGiJrX is either finite or cyclic. Let h (G) denote the number of groups Gi/Gi+ 1 (1^ i^ n) which are infinite. Then we prove in § 2 that for any right noetherian ring A the Krull dimension of the group ring AG is the sum of the Krull dimension of A and the integer h (G). Now suppose that A is a commutative noetherian ring. Then in § 4 we show that AG satisfies the descending chain condition on prime ideals. Moreover if, in addition, each subgroup Gi is normal in G then the Krull dimension of AG is the supremum of the lengths of chains of prime idealsIn § 5 it is shown that if Z is the ring of integers and G is a soluble group then the group ring ZG has finite Krull dimension if and only if G satisfies the maximal condition for subgroups. I am indebted to the referee for greatly simplifying the proof of Theorem 2.5 and for making several other helpful suggestions.
