Given an integral domain $D$ with fraction field $F$, its *reciprocal complement* is the subring of $F$ generated by all $1/d$ for nonzero $d$ in $D$. This paper serves doubly as a survey of the current state of the field and an update with…

Let $I$ be a regular proper ideal in a Noetherian ring $R$, let $e \ge 2$ be an integer, let $\mathbf T_e = R[u,tI,u^{\frac{1}{e}}]' \cap R[u^{\frac{1}{e}},t^{\frac{1}{e}}]$ (where $t$ is an indeterminate and $u =\frac{1}{t}$), and let…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…

An integral domain is called {\em Globalized multiplicatively pinched-Dedekind domain $($GMPD domain$)$} if every nonzero non-invertible ideal can be written as $JP_1\cdots P_k$ with $J$ invertible ideal and $P_1,...,P_k$ distinct ideals…

We give several criteria for a ring to be a UFD including generalizations of some criteria due to P. Samuel. These criteria are applied to construct, for any field k, (1) a Z-graded non-noetherian rational UFD of dimension three over k, and…

We continue the analysis of prime and semiprime operations over one-dimensional domains started in \cite{Va}. We first show that there are no bounded semiprime operations on the set of fractional ideals of a one-dimensional domain. We then…

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…

A class of integer-valued functions defined on the set of ideals of an integral domain $R$ is investigated. We show that this class of functions, which we call ideal valuations, are in one-to-one correspondence with countable descending…

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and let $X$ be an indeterminate over $D$. Also, let $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{T}}:=\{T_{\lambda}\mid \lambda \in \Lambda \}$ be a defining family of quotient rings of $D$ and suppose that…

A semiring is uniserial if its ideals are totally ordered by inclusion. First, we show that a semiring $S$ is uniserial if and only if the matrix semiring $M_n(S)$ is uniserial. As a generalization of valuation semirings, we also…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of n-semiprimary ideals, n-powerful ideals, and n-powerful semiprimary ideals of commutative rings. We study these concepts and relate them to several generalizations of pseudo-valuation domains.

It is a well-known and easily established fact that every Euclidean domain is also a principal ideal domain. However, the converse statement is not true, and this is usually shown by exhibiting as a counterexample the ring of algebraic…

Every finite local principal ideal ring is the homomorphic image of a discrete valuation ring of a number field, and is determined by five invariants. We present an action of a group, non-commutative in general, on the set of Eisenstein…

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and $E$ a subset of $K$. The \textit{ring of integer-valued rational functions on} $E$ is defined as $$\mathrm{int}_R(E,D):=\lbrace \varphi \in K(X);\; \varphi(E)\subseteq D\rbrace.$$…

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,…

A commutative integral domain is primary if and only if it is one-dimensional and local. A domain is strongly primary if and only if it is local and each nonzero principal ideal contains a power of the maximal ideal. Hence one-dimensional…

Given a valuation $v$ with quotient field $K$ and a sequence $\mathcal{K} :K_0\subseteq K_1\subseteq\cdots$ of finite extensions of $K$, we construct a weighted tree $\mathcal{T}(v,\mathcal{K})$ encoding information about the ramification…

It is well-known that a ring is Noetherian if and only if every ascending chain of ideals is stationary, and an integral domain is a PID if and only if every countably generated ideal is principal. We respectively investigate the similar…

We consider the lattice-ordered groups Inv$(R)$ and Div$(R)$ of invertible and divisorial fractional ideals of a completely integrally closed Pr\"ufer domain. We prove that Div$(R)$ is the completion of the group Inv$(R)$, and we show there…

Let $R$ be an integral domain. For elements $a,b \in R$, let $[a,b]$ denote their greatest common divisor, if it exists. We say that $R$ has the Z-property if whenever $a,b,c,d$ and $e$ are nonzero nonunits of $R$ such that $abc=de$, then…
