symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra
Given a left and right Noetherian ring, its Goldie rank is the maximum number of nonzero internal direct summands of its left (or right) ideals. In other words, the Goldie rank of a Noetherian ring is if contains an internal direct sum of non-zero? submodules but no internal direct sum of nonzero submodules.
The same definition may be used for the Goldie rank of “finite rank” modules, where it is also called Goldie dimension and uniform dimension. Here by finite rank one means that the injective hull is a direct sum of a finite direct sum of indecomposables. An alternative definition is this: a finite rank module has Goldie rank if the injective hull is a direct sum of n uniform submodules.
