Throughout this paper all rings considered will be commutative, noetherian with identity. If R is such a ring and M is a finitely generated R-module, we shall use v(M) to denote that non-negative integer with the property that M can be generated by v(M) elements but not by fewer.

Since every ideal in a noetherian ring is finitely generated, it is a natural question to ask what v(I) is for a given ideal I. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz may be viewed as the first general theorem dealing with this question, answering it when I is a maximal ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field.

More recently, it has been noticed that the properties of an R-ideal I are intertwined with those of the R-module I/I2.
