We describe the structure of infinitely generated projective modules over hereditary Noetherian prime rings. The isomorphism invariants are uniform dimension and ranks at maximal ideals. Infinitely generated projective modules need not be free. However, every uncountably generated projective module

โฆ Synopsis
Let R be a hereditary Noetherian prime ring. We determine a full set of invariants for the isomorphism class of any finitely generated projective R-module of uniform dimension at least 2. In particular we prove that P โ X โผ = Q โ X implies P โผ = Q whenever P has uniform dimension at least 2. Among the applications of these results are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a bound to the number of generators needed for right ideals of R.

This is the first of three papers that aim to bring the known theory of projective modules over a hereditary Noetherian prime ring R up to roughly the same level as the well-known commutative case, where R is a Dedekind domain. This first paper lays the foundations by introducing the notion of an in
