Stability and Clifford regularity with respect to star operations

In the last few years, the concepts of stability and Clifford regularity have been fruitfully extended by using star operations. In this paper we deepen the study of star stable and star regular domains and relate these two classes of domains to each other.Comment: 22 pages; Comm. Alg., 201

Star Stability and Star Regularity for Mori Domains

In the last few years, the concepts of stability and Clifford regularity have been fruitfully extended by using star operations. In this paper we study and put in relation these properties for Noetherian and Mori domains, substantially improving several results present in the literature.Comment: 14 pages; Rend. Semin. Mat.

Star Stable Domains

We introduce and study the notion of $\star$-stability with respect to a semistar operation $\star$ defined on a domain $R$; in particular we consider the case where $\star$ is the $w$-operation. This notion allows us to generalize and improve several properties of stable domains and totally divisorial domains.Comment: 21 pages. J. Pure Appl. Algebra, to appea

Semistar Dedekind Domains

Let $D$ be an integral domain and $\star$ a semistar operation on $D$. As a generalization of the notion of Noetherian domains to the semistar setting, we say that $D$ is a $\star$--Noetherian domain if it has the ascending chain condition on the set of its quasi--$\star$--ideals. On the other hand, as an extension the notion of Pr\"ufer domain (and of Pr\"{u}fer $v$--multiplication domain), we say that $D$ is a Pr\"ufer $\star$--multiplication domain (P$\star$MD, for short) if $D_M$ is a valuation domain, for each quasi--$\star_{_{f}}$--maximal ideal $M$ of $D$. Finally, recalling that a Dedekind domain is a Noetherian Pr\"{u}fer domain, we define a $\star$--Dedekind domain to be an integral domain which is $\star$--Noetherian and a P$\star$MD. In the present paper, after a preliminary study of $\star$--Noetherian domains, we investigate the $\star$--Dedekind domains. We extend to the $\star$--Dedekind domains the main classical results and several characterizations proven for Dedekind domains. In particular, we obtain a characterization of a $\star$--Dedekind domain by a property of decomposition of any semistar ideal into a ``semistar product'' of prime ideals. Moreover, we show that an integral domain $D$ is a $\star$--Dedekind domain if and only if the Nagata semistar domain Na$(D, \star)$ is a Dedekind domain. Several applications of the general results are given for special cases of the semistar operation $\star$

Star-Invertibility and tt-finite character in Integral Domains

Let $A$ be an integral domain. We study new conditions on families of integral ideals of $A$ in order to get that $A$ is of $t$-finite character (i.e., each nonzero element of $A$ is contained in finitely many $t$-maximal ideals). We also investigate problems connected with the local invertibility of ideals.Comment: 16 page

w-Divisoriality in Polynomial Rings

We extend the Bass-Matlis characterization of local Noetherian divisorial domains to the non-Noetherian case. This result is then used to study the following question: If a domain D is w-divisorial, that is, if each w-ideal of D is divisorial, then is D[X] automatically w-divisorial? We show that the answer is yes if D is either integrally closed or Mori.Comment: 9 pages Comm. Algebr
