Abstract
In this paper, we study Noetherian Boolean rings. We show that if R is a Noetherian Boolean ring, then R is finite and $R{\simeq}(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n$ for some integer $n{\geq}1$. If R is a Noetherian ring, then R/J is a Noetherian Boolean ring, where J is the intersection of all ideals I of R with |R/I| = 2. Thus R/J is finite, and hence the set of ideals I of R with |R/I| = 2 is finite. We also give a short proof of Hayes's result : For every polynomial $f(x){\in}\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n{\geq}1$, there are irreducible polynomials $g(x)$ and $h(x)$, each of degree $n$, such that $g(x)+h(x)=f(x)$.
