Quasi-maximal ideals and ring extensions

Commutative Algebra 2026-01-21 v1

Abstract

Alan and al. defined and studied quasi-maximal ideals. We add a comprehensive characterization of these ideals, introducing submaximal ideals. The conductor of a finite minimal extension RSR\subset S is quasi-maximal in SS. This allows us to give a new characterization of these extensions. We also examine the links between quasi-maximal ideals and Badawi 2-absorbing ideals.
