Abstract

The structure of modules over polycyclic group rings RG is investigated using the idea of a link P ⇝ Q between prime ideals of RG. The representation theory of RG splits into two parts – the part we discuss is determined by the representation theory of certain Noetherian polynomial identity factor rings of subrings of RG.
