Commutative Algebra
The depth of a module is a fundamental concept in commutative algebra that measures the 'size' or 'richness' of a module in terms of the length of its longest chain of prime ideals. It provides important information about the structure and properties of both the module and the ring over which it is defined, revealing insights into aspects like regularity, dimension, and homological characteristics.
