Let R be an associative ring with identity, and let denote the category of unital left R-modules. The Walkers [6] raised the question of characterizing the maximal torsion radicals of , and showed that if R is commutative and Noetherian, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between maximal torsion radicals and minimal prime ideals of R [6, Theorem 1.29]. Popescu announced [5, Theorem 2.5] that the result remains valid for commutative rings with Gabriel dimension (in the terminology of [2]). Theorem 4.6 below shows that the result holds for rings (not necessarily commutative) with Krull dimension on either the left or right, extending the previous theorem for right Noetherian rings which appeared in [1].
