We consider properties of extensions of Krull domains such as flatness that involve behavior of extensions and contractions of prime ideals. Let (R,m) be an excellent normal local domain with field of fractions K, let y be a nonzero element…

We study the set of localizations of an integral domain from a topological point of view, showing that it is always a spectral space and characterizing when it is a proconstructible subspace of the space of all overrings. We then study the…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $T(R)$ its total quotient ring. We extend the notion of well-centered overring of an integral domain to an arbitrary commutative ring and we investigate the transfer of this property to…

Call a domain $R$ an sQQR-domain if each simple overring of $R$, i.e., each ring of the form $R[u]$ with $u$ in the quotient field of $R$, is an intersection of localizations of $R$. We characterize Pr\"ufer domains as integrally closed…

Let R* be an ideal-adic completion of a Noetherian integral domain R and let L be a subfield of the total quotient ring of R* such that L contains R. Let A denote the intersection of L with R*. The integral domain A sometimes inherits nice…

It is well-known that an integrally closed domain $D$ can be express as the intersection of its valuation overrings but, if $D$ is not a Pr\"{u}fer domain, the most of valuation overrings of $D$ cannot be seen as localizations of $D$. The…

Fix any field $K$ of characteristic $p$ such that $[K:K^p]$ is finite. We discuss excellence for Noetherian domains whose fraction field is $K$, showing for example, that $R$ is excellent if and only if the Frobenius map is finite on $R$.…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let B be a finitely generated k-domain. We study semisimple derivations on B, with special emphasis on those whose eigenvalues are integers. For such derivations, after…

We study centralizers of elements in domains. We generalize a result of the author and Small, showing that if $A$ is a finitely generated noetherian domain and $a\in A$ is not algebraic over the extended centre of $A$, then the centralizer…

A domain $R$ is said to have the finite factorization property if every nonzero non-unit element of $R$ has at least one and at most finitely many distinct factorizations up to multiplication of irreducible factors by central units. Let $k$…

In this paper we exhibit an example of a three-dimensional regular local domain (A, n) having a height-two prime ideal P with the property that the extension PA^ of P to the n-adic completion A^ of A is not integrally closed. We use a…

Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…

Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

Let $A\subset B$ be an integral ring extension of integral domains with fields of fractions $K$ and $L$, respectively. The integral degree of $A\subset B$, denoted by ${\rm d}_A(B)$, is defined as the supremum of the degrees of minimal…

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…

Let $R$ be an integral domain with $qf(R)=K$ and let $F(R)$ be the set of nonzero fractional ideals of $R.$ Call $R$ a dually compact domain (DCD) if for each $I\in F(R)$ the ideal $I_{v}=(I^{-1})^{-1}$ is a finite intersection of principal…

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…

In a Dedekind domain $D$, every non-zero proper ideal $A$ factors as a product $A=P_1^{t_1}\cdots P_k^{t_k}$ of powers of distinct prime ideals $P_i$. For a Dedekind domain $D$, the $D$-modules $D/P_i^{t_i}$ are uniserial. We extend this…

We study functions from a unique factorization monoid to a field. The set of all such functions is a commutative ring isomorphic to a ring of formal power series over the field, with indeterminates indexed by the prime elements of the…

An $R$-algebra $S$ is $R$-solid if there exists a nonzero $R$-linear map $S \rightarrow R$. In characteristic $p$, the study of $F$-singularities such as Frobenius splittings implicitly rely on the $R$-solidity of $R^{1/p}$. Following…
