Abstract

Let f:A\loBf:A\lo B be a ring homomorphism and let JJ be an ideal of B.B. In this paper, we investigate the transfer of notions elementary divisor ring, Hermite ring and B\'ezout ring to the amalgamation AfJ.A\bowtie^fJ. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for AfJ A\bowtie^fJ to be an elementary divisor ring where AA and BB are integral domains. In this case it is shown that AfJ A\bowtie^fJ is an Hermite ring if and only it is a B\'ezout ring. In particular, we study the transfer of the previous notions to the amalgamated duplication of a ring AA along an AA-submodule EE of Q(A)Q(A) such that E2E.E^2\subseteq E.
