On commutative rings which are strongly prüfer

Abstract

As defined by Nicholson [Nicholson, W. K. (1977). Lifting idempotents and exchange rings. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 229:269–278] an element of a ring R is clean if it is the sum of a unit and an idempotent, and a subset A of R is clean if every element of A is clean. It is shown that a semiprimitive Gelfand ring R is clean if and only if Max(R) is zero-dimensional; if and only if for each M ∈ Max(R), the intersection all prime ideals contained in M is generated by a set of idempotents. We also give several equivalent conditions for clean functional rings. In fact, a functional ring R is clean if and only if the set of clean elements is closed under sum; if and only if every zero-divisor is clean; if and only if; R has a clean prime ideal.     

Real Prüfer extensions of commutative rings

Let A⊂R be an extension of commutative rings with 1. We show that A is totally real (i.e. all maximal ideals of A are real) and A⊂R is a Prüfer extension if and only if R is totally real and the holomorphy ring H(R/A) of R over A is A. Received: 2 January 2001 / Revised version: 23 April 2001     

∑–pure—injective modules over a commutative prüfer ring

We give the complete classification of ∑-pure-injective modules over a commutative Prüfer ring.     

Modules with a“nice”endomorphism ring and a new characterization of semisimple modules and rings

In this work we introduce some classes of modules whose endomorphism rings have some of the properties of the endomorphism rings of vector spaces. Then we apply these notions to obtain new characterizations of semisimple rings and modules.     

Epimorphic extensions and Prüfer extensions¶ of partially ordered rings

The paper contributes to the investigation of epimorphisms in the category of reduced partially ordered rings (porings). Two main questions are considered: 1) Does the set of isomorphism classes of a given poring have a largest element (an epimorphic hull)? 2) Given an epimorphic extension, or even a Prüfer extension, f:A→B of porings: how closely are A and B related to each other?

Decidability of the theory of modules over Prüfer domains with dense value groups

We provide algebraic conditions ensuring the decidability of the theory of modules over effectively given Prüfer (in particular Bézout) domains whose localizations at maximal ideals have dense value groups. For Bézout domains, these conditions are also necessary.     

Umt-domains and domains with prüfer integral closure

An integral domain R is said to be a UMT-domain if uppers to zero in R[X) are maximal t-ideals. We show that R is a UMT-domain if and only if its localizations at maximal tdeals have Prüfer integral closure. We also prove that the UMT-property is preserved upon passage to polynomial rings. Finally, we characterize the UMT-property in certian pullback constructions; as an application, we show that a domain has Prüfer integral closure if and only if all its overrings are UMT-domains.     

K-theory of Prüfer domains

Archiv der Mathematik - In this article, we show that the homotopy invariance of K-theory holds for rings of weak global dimension at most one. Prüfer domains are examples of such rings. We...     

Vaught’s conjecture for modules over a commutative Prüfer ring

We prove that Vaught’s conjecture is true for modules over a commutative Prüfer ring. It is shown that a positive solution to Vaught’s conjecture for modules over 1-dimensional Noetherian domains would imply the same for modules over finitely presented algebras. This article was written during the visit of the second author to the University of Manchester supported by EPSRC grant GR/L68827. She would like to thank the University for hospitality.

Immediate Extensions of Prüfer Rings

We study into questions that naturally arise when Prüfer rings are viewed from the geometry standpoint. A ring of principal ideals which has infinitely many prime ideals and is such that its field of fractions is non-Hilbertian is constructed. This answers in the negative a question of Lang.     

The Ordered Group of Invertible Ideals of a Prüfer Domain of Finite Character

Abstract

Let D be a Prüfer domain, and denote by ± b?(D) the multiplicative group of all invertible fractional ideals of D, ordered by A ≤ B if and only if A ? B. Denote by G _i the value group of the valuation associated with the valuation ring D _{M i} , where {M _i } _i∈I is the collection of all maximal ideals of D. In this note we prove that the natural map from ± b?(D) into ± b∏ _i∈I G _i is an isomorphism onto the cardinal sum ± b? _i∈I G _i if and only if D is h-local. As a corollary, the group of divisibility of an h-local Bézout domain is isomorphic to ± b? _i∈I G _i , the notation being as above.
