Note on linearly equivalent ideal topologies over Noetherian modules

Abstract

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module. In this paper, the main result asserts that for any $N$-proper ideal $\frak a$ of $R,$ the $\frak a$-symbolic topology on $N$ is linearly equivalent to the $\frak a$-adic topology on $N$ if and only if, for every $\frak p\in \Supp(N)$, $\Ass_{R_{\mathfrak {p} }}N_{\mathfrak {p}}$ consists of a single prime ideal and $\dim N\leq 1$.
