Let k be a field, let R be a noetherian k-algebra of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension GK(R), and let M be a finitely generated right R-module. A standard prime factor series for M is a finite sequence of submodules 0 = N0 ⊂ N1 ⊂…⊂ Ni−1 ⊂ Ni ⊂.… ⊂ Nn = M, such that for each i the annihilator Pi = rR (Ni/Ni−1) is the unique associated prime of Ni/Ni−1 and GK(R/Pi)≤ GK(R/Pj) whenever i≤ j. The set of prime ideals arising from such a series is an invariant of M, called the set of standard primes St(M) of M. The concept, inspired by the notion of a standard affiliated series introduced by Lenagan and Warfield in [7], has been developed in [5], where it was shown that St(M) coincides with the set of all those prime ideals that are minimal over the annihilator of a nonzero submodule of M.
