An integral domain $D$ is a {\em valuation ideal factorization domain} (VIFD) if each nonzero principal ideal of $D$ can be written as a finite product of valuation ideals. Clearly, $\pi$-domains are VIFDs. We study the ring-theoretic…
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 those integral domains in which every proper ideal can be written as an invertible ideal multiplied by a nonempty product of proper radical ideals.
The primary purpose of this paper is give a classification scheme for the nonzero primes of a Pr\"ufer domain based on five properties. A prime $P$ of a Pr\"ufer domain $R$ could be sharp or not sharp, antesharp or not, divisorial or not,…
Let R be a commutative ring and I an ideal of R. A sub-ideal J of I is a reduction of I if JI^n = I^n+1 for some positive integer n. The ring R has the (finite) basic ideal property if (finitely generated) ideals of R do not have proper…
We demonstrate a class of local (Noetherian) unique factorization domains (UFDs) that are noncatenary at infinitely many places. In particular, if $A$ is in our class of UFDs, then the prime spectrum of $A$ contains infinitely many disjoint…
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 $k$…
It is shown that every dp-minimal integral domain $R$ is a local ring and for every non-maximal prime ideal $\mathfrak p $ of $R$, the localization $R_{\mathfrak p }$ is a valuation ring and $\mathfrak{p}R_{\mathfrak{p}}=\mathfrak{p}$.…
Let (T,M) be a complete local domain containing the integers. Let p1 \subseteq p2 \subseteq ... \subseteq pn be a chain of nonmaximal prime ideals T such that T_pn is a regular local ring. We construct a chain of excellent local domains An…
An integral domain $D,$ with quotient field $K,$ is a $v$-domain if for each nonzero finitely generated ideal $A$ of $D$ we have $(AA^{-1})^{-1}=D.$ It is well known that if $D$ is a $v$-domain$,$ then some quotient ring $D_{S}$ of $D$ may…
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…
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…
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…
A nonzero element of an integral domain (or commutative cancellative monoid) is called atomic if it can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (also called atoms). In this paper, we introduce and investigate an unrestricted…
An integral domain $D$ is a $v$--domain if, for every finitely generated nonzero (fractional) ideal $F$ of $D$, we have $(FF^{-1})^{-1}=D$. The $v$--domains generalize Pr\"{u}fer and Krull domains and have appeared in the literature with…
In this paper, we advance an ideal-theoretic analogue of a "finite factorization domain" (FFD), giving such a domain the moniker "finite molecularization domain" (FMD). We characterize FMD's as those factorable domains (termed "molecular…
In 2008 N.~Q.~Chinh and P.~H.~Nam characterized principal ideal domains as integral domains that satisfy the follo\-wing two conditions: (i) they are unique factorization domains, and (ii) all maximal ideals in them are principal. We…
In this paper we characterize the Pr\"ufer v-multiplication domain as a class of essential domains verifying an additional property on the closure of some families of prime ideals, with respect to the constructible topology.
It is well-known that if R is a domain with finite character, each locally principal nonzero ideal of R is invertible. We address the problem of understanding when the converse is true and survey some recent results.
