Dedekind domains and rings of quotients

##### Abstract

We study the relation of the ideal class group of a Dedekind domain $A$ to that of ${A}_{S}$, where $S$ is a multiplicatively closed subset of $A$. We construct examples of (a) a Dedekind domain with no principal prime ideal and (b) a Dedekind domain which is not the integral closure of a principal ideal domain. We also obtain some qualitative information on the number of non-principal prime ideals in an arbitrary Dedekind domain.

If $A$ is a Dedekind domain, $S$ the set of all monic polynomials and $T$ the set of all primitive polynomials of $A\left[X\right]$, then $A{\left[X\right]}_{S}$ and $A{\left[X\right]}_{T}$ are both Dedekind domains. We obtain the class groups of these new Dedekind domains in terms of that of $A$.
