Multiplicative closure operations on ring extensions

Let $A\subseteq B$ be a ring extension and $\mathcal{G}$ be a set of $A$-submodules of $B$. We introduce a class of closure operations on $\mathcal{G}$ (which we call \emph{multiplicative operations on $(A,B,\mathcal{G})$}) that generalizes the classes of star, semistar and semiprime operations. We study how the set $\mathrm{Mult}(A,B,\mathcal{G})$ of these closure operations vary when $A$, $B$ or $\mathcal{G}$ vary, and how $\mathrm{Mult}(A,B,\mathcal{G})$ behave under ring homomorphisms. As an application, we show how to reduce the study of star operations on analytically unramified one-dimensional Noetherian domains to the study of closures on finite extensions of Artinian rings.
