Generalizations of Primary Ideals in Commutative Rings

2014

Abstract

Abstract. Let R be a commutative ring with identity. Let ϕ: I(R) → I(R) ∪ {∅} be a function where I(R) denotes the set of all ideals of R. A proper ideal Q of R is called ϕ-primary if whenever a, b ∈ R, ab ∈ Q−ϕ(Q) implies that either a ∈ Q or b ∈ √ Q. So if we take ϕ∅(Q) = ∅ (resp., ϕ0(Q) = 0), a ϕ-primary ideal is primary (resp., weakly primary). In this paper we study the properties of several generalizations of primary ideals of R.
