Radical factorization in higher dimension

Commutative Algebra 2024-09-17 v1

Abstract

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset XX of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with V(I)X\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X have radical factorization if and only if XX contains no critical maximal ideals with respect to XX. We use these notions to prove that in the group Inv(D)\mathrm{Inv}(D) of the invertible ideals of a strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains is often free: in particular, we show it when the spectrum of DD is Noetherian or when DD is a ring of integer-valued polynomials on a subset over a Dedekind domain.
