Abstract

In this article, we show that Mori domains, pseudo-valuation domains, and nn-absorbing ideals, the three seemingly unrelated notions in commutative ring theory, are interconnected. In particular, we prove that an integral domain RR is a Mori locally pseudo-valuation domain if and only if each proper ideal of RR is a finite product of 2-absorbing ideals of RR. Moreover, every ideal of a Mori locally almost pseudo-valuation domain can be written as a finite product of 3-absorbing ideals. To provide concrete examples of such rings, we study rings of the form A+XB[X]A+XB[X] where AA is a subring of a commutative ring BB and XX is indeterminate, which is of independent interest, and along with several characterization theorems, we prove that in such a ring, each proper ideal is a finite product of nn-absorbing ideals for some n2n\ge 2 if and only if AA and BB are both Artinian reduced rings and the contraction map Spec(B)Spec(A)\text{Spec}(B)\to\text{Spec}(A) is a bijection. A complete description of when an order of a quadratic number field is a locally pseudo valuation domain, a locally almost pseudo valuation domain or a locally conducive domain is given.
