On the Theory of Invariants for Forms of n Variables§
Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 139, 118–154
Algebraic invariants. Extension of the formal algebraic-invariant methods to forms of an arbitrary number n of variables. Noether applied these results in her publications #8 and #16.
Field theory. In this and the preceding paper, Noether investigates fields and systems of rational functions of n variables, and demonstrates that they have a rational basis. In this work, she combined then-recent work of Ernst Steinitz on fields, with the methods for proving finiteness developed by David Hilbert. The methods she developed in this paper appeared again in her publication #11 on the inverse Galois problem.

Differential invariants. Seminal paper introducing Noether's theorems, which allow differential invariants to be developed from symmetries in the calculus of variations.
A Proof of Finiteness for Integral Binary Invariants
Nachrichte der Königlichen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, Math.-phys. Klasse, 1919, 138–156
Algebraic invariants. Proof that the integral invariants of binary forms are themselves finite. Similar to publication #7, this paper is devoted to the research area of Hilbert.
In the second epoch, Noether turned her attention to the theory of rings. With her paper Moduln in nichtkommutativen Bereichen, insbesondere aus Differential- und Differenzenausdrücken, Hermann Weyl states, "It is here for the first time that the Emmy Noether appears whom we all know, and who changed the face of algebra by her work."
Modules in Non-commutative Domains, especially Those Composed of Differential and Difference Expressions§
Mathematische Zeitschrift, 8, 1–35
Ideals and modules. Written with W. Schmeidler. Seminal paper that introduces the concepts of left and right ideals, and develops various ideas of modules: direct sums and intersections, residue class modules and isomorphy of modules. First use of the exchange method for proving uniqueness, and first representation of modules as intersections obeying an ascending chain condition.
On a Work on Elimination Theory by K. Hentzelt, who Fell in the War§
Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung, 30 (Abt. 2), 101
Elimination theory. Preliminary report of the dissertation of Kurt Hentzelt, who died during World War I. The full description of Hentzelt's work came in publication #22.
Ideals. Considered by many mathematicians to be Noether's most important paper. In it, Noether shows the equivalence of the ascending chain condition with previous concepts such as Hilbert's theorem of a finite ideal basis. She also shows that any ideal that satisfies this condition can be represented as an intersection of primary ideals, which are a generalization of the einartiges Ideal defined by Richard Dedekind. Noether also defines irreducible ideals and proves four uniqueness theorems by the exchange method, as in publication #17.
On the Theory of Polynomial Ideals and Resultants§
Mathematische Annalen, 88, 53–79
Elimination theory. Based on the dissertation of Kurt Hentzelt, who died before this paper was presented. In this work, and in publications #24 and #25, Noether subsumes elimination theory within her general theory of ideals.

Elimination theory. Based on the dissertation of Kurt Hentzelt, who died before this paper was presented. In this work, and in publications #24 and #25, Noether subsumes elimination theory within her general theory of ideals. She developed a final proof during a lecture in 1923/1924. When her colleague van der Waerden developed the same proof independently (but working from her publications), Noether allowed him to publish.

| Nachrichten der Königlichen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, Math.-phys.

Abstract Structure of the Theory of Ideals in Algebraic Number Fields and Function Fields§
| Mathematische Annalen, 96, 26–61 || Ideals. Seminal paper in which Noether determined the minimal set of conditions required that a primary ideal be representable as a power of prime ideals, as Richard Dedekind had done for algebraic numbers. Three conditions were required: an ascending chain condition, a dimension condition, and the condition that the ring be integrally closed.

Über minimale Zerfällungskörper irreduzibler Darstellungen
On the Minimum Splitting Fields of Irreducible Representations§
Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1927, 221–228
Group representations, modules and ideals. Written with R. Brauer. Third of four papers showing the close connection between these three subjects. See also publications #29, #32, and #35. This paper shows that the splitting fields of a division algebra are embedded in the algebra itself; the splitting fields are maximal commutative subfields either over the algebra, or over a full matrix ring over the algebra.
