Extract

The aim of this paper is to prove:

Theorem. Let R be an affine (finitely generated) algebra over a field k and of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension one. Then R satisfies a polynomial identity. Consequently, if N is the prime radical of R, then N is nilpotent and R/N is a finite module over its Noetherian centre.
