Containment-Division Rings and New Characterizations of Dedekind Domains

Commutative Algebra 2017-08-03 v1

Abstract

We introduce a new class of commutative rings with unity, namely, the Containment-Division Rings (CDR-s). We show that this notion has a very exceptional origin since it was essentially co-discovered with the qualitative help of a computer program (i.e. The Heterogeneous Tool Set (HETS)). Besides, we show that in a Noetherian setting, the CDR-s are just another way of describing Dedekind domains. Simultaneously, we see that for CDR-s, the Noetherian condition can be replaced by a weaker Divisor Chain Condition.
