Abstract

Eisenbud and al. proved that if \mathbb{K} is a field of characteristic 0 and \gamma:\mathbb{K}\langle X_1,…,X_n\rangle\longrightarrow\mathbb{K}[x_1,…x_n], the map from the noncommutative ploynomial ring to the commutative one which sends X_i to x_i then any noncommutative ideal \mathcal{J}=\gamma^{-1}(\mathcal{I}) has a finite Gröbner basis even after a linear change of variables. By an example they prove that if \mathbb{K} is of characteristic p\neq 0 then this result does not always hold. In this work, we consider a coefficient finite field \mathbb{K}. Then we first give a necessary and sufficient condition for any ideal of the form \gamma^{-1} (\mathcal{I}) to have finite Gröbner basis. We secondly prove that this condition is satisfied for any 0-dimensionnal \mathcal{I}. We finish by investigating the particular case where \mathcal{I} is a principal ideal.

Keywords: Finite field, Finiteness, Initial ideal, Linear change of variables, Noncommutative Gröbner bases.
