Abstract
In this paper, we define and study a valuation dimension for commutative rings. The valuation dimension is a measure of how far a commutative ring deviates from being valuation. It is shown that a ring R with valuation dimension has finite uniform dimension. We prove that a ring R is Noetherian (respectively, Artinian) if and only if the ring R × R has (respectively, finite) valuation dimension if and only if R has (respectively, finite) valuation dimension and all cyclic uniserial modules are Noetherian (respectively, Artinian). We show that the class of all rings of finite valuation dimension strictly lies between the class of Artinian rings and the class of semi-perfect rings.
