Almost factoriality of integral domains and Krull-like domains

Gyu Whan Chang, Hwankoo Kim and Jung Wook Lim

Vol. 260 (2012), No. 1, 129–148
Abstract

Let D be an integral domain, D be the integral closure of D, and Γ be a numerical semigroup with Γ ⊊ ℕ0. Let t be the so-called t-operation on D. We will say that D is an AK-domain (resp., AUF-domain) if for each nonzero ideal ({aα}) of D, there exists a positive integer n = n({aα}) such that ({aαn})t is t-invertible (resp., principal). In this paper, we study several properties of AK-domains and AUF-domains. Among other things, we show that if D D is a bounded root extension, then D is an AK-domain (resp., AUF-domain) if and only if D is a Krull domain (resp., Krull domain with torsion t-class group) and D is t-linked under D . We also prove that if D is a Krull domain (resp., UFD) with char(D)0, then the (numerical) semigroup ring D[Γ] is a nonintegrally closed AK-domain (resp., AUF-domain).
