A classical problem, that goes back to the 1960's, is to characterize the integral domains R satisfying the property (IDn): "every singular nxn matrix over R is a product of idempotent matrices". Significant results, which describe this…

Rings of integer-valued polynomials are known to be atomic, non-factorial rings furnishing examples for both irreducible elements for which all powers factor uniquely (\emph{absolutely irreducibles}) and irreducible elements where some…

An integral domain (or a commutative cancellative monoid) is atomic if every nonzero nonunit element is the product of irreducibles, and it satisfies the ACCP if every ascending chain of principal ideals eventually stabilizes. The interplay…

The classical Hilbert specialization property is a field-theoretic tool ensuring that polynomial irreducibility over a field is preserved under specialization of some of the variables. We develop an integral counterpart by introducing the…

To study the question of whether every two-dimensional Pr\"ufer domain possesses the stacked bases property, we consider the particular case of the Pr\"ufer domains formed by integer-valued polynomials. The description of the spectrum of…

We show that in certain Pr\"ufer domains, each nonzero ideal $I$ can be factored as $I=I^v \Pi$, where $I^v$ is the divisorial closure of $I$ and $\Pi$ is a product of maximal ideals. This is always possible when the Pr\"ufer domain is…

Let $D$ be an integral domain and $X$ an indeterminate over $D$. It is well known that (a) $D$ is quasi-Pr\"ufer (i.e, its integral closure is a Pr\"ufer domain) if and only if each upper to zero $Q$ in $D[X] $ contains a polynomial $g \in…

In this study we consider domains that are composed of an infinite sequence of self-similar rings and corresponding finite element spaces over those domains. The rings are parameterized using piecewise polynomial or tensor-product B-spline…

Let $D$ be an integral domain. A nonzero nonunit $a$ of $D$ is called a valuation element if there is a valuation overring $V$ of $D$ such that $aV\cap D=aD$. We say that $D$ is a valuation factorization domain (VFD) if each nonzero nonunit…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$ and $A$ a torsion-free $D$-algebra that is finitely generated as a $D$-module and such that $A\cap K=D$. We give a complete classification of those $D$ and $A$ for which the…

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and $\Omega$ a finite subset of $D$. McQuillan proved that the ring ${\rm Int}(\Omega,D)$ of polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over $\Omega$, that is, $f\in K[X]$ such that…

We study the question up to which power an irreducible integer-valued polynomial that is not absolutely irreducible can factor uniquely. For example, for integer-valued polynomials over principal ideal domains with square-free denominator,…

In this article, we study the monoid of fractional ideals and the ideal class semigroup of an arbitrary given one dimensional normal domain O obtained by an infinite integral extension of a Dedekind domain. We introduce a notion of "upper…

A semidomain is an additive submonoid of an integral domain that is closed under multiplication and contains the identity element. Although atomicity and divisibility in integral domains have been systematically investigated for more than…

Let $D$ be a Dedekind domain with infinitely many maximal ideals, all of finite index, and $K$ its quotient field. Let $\operatorname{Int}(D) = \{f\in K[x] \mid f(D) \subseteq D\}$ be the ring of integer-valued polynomials on $D$. Given any…

An integral domain $R$ is atomic if each nonzero nonunit of $R$ factors into irreducibles. In addition, an integral domain $R$ satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) if every increasing sequence of principal…

In this article we study two classes of integral domains. The first is characterized by having a finite intersection of principal ideals being finitely generated only when it is principal. The second class consists of the integral domains…

For a property $\mathcal{X}$ of integral domains, an integral domain $D$ is said to be a {\it locally $\mathcal{X}$-domain} if $D_P$ has the property $\mathcal{X}$ for every prime ideal $P$ of $D$. In this paper, we study the transfer of…

We establish an integral identity for functions on R^2 that are invariant under discrete diagonal translations. The identity shows that integration over the diamond-shaped region |x| + |y| <= L is exactly one half of the integral over the…

An integral domain $D$ is called an SP-domain if every ideal is a product of radical ideals. Such domains are always almost Dedekind domains, but not every almost Dedekind domain is an SP-domain. The SP-rank of $D$ provides a natural…
