An analogue of Rogers' theorem on sieving in commutative rings

Commutative Algebra 2026-05-05 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We prove that an analogue of Rogers' theorem on sieving holds for an order if and only if the order is a Dedekind domain. We also prove that it holds for a finite commutative ring if and only if the ring is a direct product of local rings with linearly ordered ideals.
