On rings with divided nil ideal: a survey

2009

Abstract

Let R be a commutative ring with 1 6D 0 and Nil.R/ be its set of nilpotent elements. Recall that a prime ideal of R is called a divided prime if P.x/ for every x 2 RnP ; thus a divided prime ideal is comparable to every ideal ofR. In many articles, the author investigated the class of rings HD"RjR is a commutative ring and Nil.R/ is a divided prime ideal ofR" (Observe that ifR is an integral domain, thenR2 H.) IfR2 H , thenR is called a -ring. Recently, David Anderson and the author generalized the concept of PrR ufer domains, Bezout domains, Dedekind domains, and Krull domains to the context of rings that are in the class H. Also, Lucas and the author generalized the concept of Mori domains to the context of rings that are in the class H. In this paper, we state many of the main results on -rings.
