homological algebra - How to construct a ring with global dimension m and weak dimension n?

If R is Noetherian then they are equal.



For n=0 one can use the fact that any Boolean ring has weak dimension 0 (any module is flat), but a free Boolean ring on alephn generators have global dimension n+1, see the last paragraph of this paper.



For any given pair of (m,n) one can perhaps use polynomial rings over the examples for n=0 case (The global dimensions do go up properly, but the behavior of weak dimensions seem to be trickier, may be someone who is a real expert can confirm this?)
