The ring R of real-exponent polynomials in n variables over any field has global dimension n+1 and flat dimension n. In particular, the residue field k = R/m of R modulo its maximal graded ideal m has flat dimension n via a Koszul-like resolution. Projective and flat resolutions of all R-modules are constructed from this resolution of k. The same results hold when R is replaced by the monoid algebra for the positive cone of any subgroup of $mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying a mild density condition.
In this paper, we introduce and study the $S$-weak global dimension $S$-w.gl.dim$(R)$ of a commutative ring $R$ for some multiplicative subset $S$ of $R$. Moreover, commutative rings with $S$-weak global dimension at most $1$ are studied. Finally, we investigated the $S$-weak global dimension of factor rings and polynomial rings.
It is proven that each commutative arithmetical ring $R$ has a finitistic weak dimension $leq 2$. More precisely, this dimension is 0 if $R$ is locally IF, 1 if $R$ is locally semicoherent and not IF, and 2 in the other cases.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. First, we introduce and study the $S$-projective dimensions and $S$-injective dimensions of $R$-modules, and then explore the $S$-global dimension $S$-gl.dim$(R)$ of a commutative ring $R$ which is defined to be the supremum of $S$-projective dimensions of all $R$-modules. Finally, we investigated the $S$-global dimension of factor rings and polynomial rings.
