Abstract

For a submodule NN of an RR-module MM, a unique product of prime ideals in RR is assigned, which is called the generalized prime ideal factorization of NN in MM, and denoted as PM(N){\mathcal{P}}_M(N). But for a product of prime ideals p1pn{{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}} in RR and an RR-module MM, there may not exist a submodule NN in MM with PM(N)=p1pn{\mathcal{P}}_{M}(N) = {{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}}. In this article, for an arbitrary product of prime ideals p1pn{{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}} and a module MM, we find conditions for the existence of submodules in MM having p1pn{{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}} as their generalized prime ideal factorization.
