The main object of this paper is to study when infective noetherian modules are artinian. This question was first raised by J. Fisher and an example of an injective noetherian module which is not artinian is given in [9]. However, it is shown in [4] that over commutative rings, and over hereditary noetherian P.I rings, injective noetherian does imply artinian. By combining results of [6] and [4] it can be shown that the above implication is true over any noetherian P.I ring. It is shown in this paper that injective noetherian modules are artinian over rings finitely generated as modules over their centers, and over semiprime rings of Krull dimension 1. It is also shown that every injective noetherian module over a P.I ring contains a simple submodule. Since any noetherian injective module is a finite direct sum of indecomposable injectives it suffices to study when such injectives are artinian. If Q is an injective indecomposable noetherian module, then Q contains a non-zero submodule Q 0 such that the endomorphism rings of Q 0 and all its submodules are skewfields. Over a commutative ring, such a Q 0 is simple. In the non-commutative case very little can be concluded, and many of the difficulties seem to arise here.
