Abstract

The union of an ascending chain of prime ideals is not always prime. The union of an ascending chain of semi-prime ideals is not always semi-prime. We show that neither one of these properties imply the other. We also show that the number of non-prime unions of subchains in a chain of primes in a PI-algebra does not exceed the PI-class minus one, and this bound is tight.
