Factorization in almost Dedekind domain
Abstract
Let be a field, a prime number, an indeterminate over , for each integer and Then is a one-dimensional B{\'e}zout domain but not a Dedekind domain, and is an almost Dedekind domain if and only if char. In this paper, we study the element-wise factorization properties of . For example, we determine when an irreducible element of is an irreducible element of , in terms of and . In particular, we show that if is algebraically closed or a finite field of char, then has no irreducible element. We also show that if is a finite field of odd characteristic, then an irreducible element of is irreducible in if and only if it is a factor of a cyclotomic polynomial for some integer which satisfies a certain equation in terms of and deg. Finally, we introduce the notion of infinite product and we then show that if and , every nonzero nonunit of can be written as a product of countably many prime elements of and every proper nonzero principal ideal of can be uniquely written as a countable intersection of principal primary ideals.
