ac.commutative algebra - Homological dimension of a graded ring which is like polynomial ring

I do not know the answer to your first question. As for the next two the answer
is positive; one need only slightly modify standard proofs for the usual
polynomial ring:



If R is a graded ring then we define the twisted polynomial ring R[x]t as
the graded ring generated by R and x with degx=1 and the relations
rx=(1)|r|xr where r is homogeneous of degree |r|. Your ring is then
k[x1]t[x2]tldots (I assume you meant to have a field as base ring) and in
general an element of R[x]t can be uniquely written in the form
sumnrnxn. We can now prove that R[x]t is (left) Noetherian if R
is. Let IsubseteqR[x]t be an ideal and let IsubseteqR be the ideal of
top terms of I. Picking generators for I and representing polynomials for
them gives a finite number of element of I such that any element of I can be
reduced to a polynomial of fixed degree.



As for finite global dimension by general results it suffices to show that k
has a finite resolution. Again we can use induction and assume that k has a
finite resolution as R-module and then it suffices to show that R has a
finite resolution as R[x]t-module. This is done by considering R[x]tetoR[x]t with e mapped to x. Carrying the induction through gives an explicit
resolution which is a sign-twisted version of the Koszul resolution: In
homological degree k it has an R[x]t-basis ei1ei2cdotseik where 1leqi1<i2<cdots<ikleqn with d(ei1ei2cdotseik)=sumrxirei1cdotswidehateircdotseik (Look Ma no signs!).
