An A-module M is catenary if for each pair of prime submodules K and L of M with $K{\subset}L$ all saturated chains of prime submodules of M from K to L have a common finite length. We show that when A is a Noetherian domain, then every finitely generated A-module is catenary if and only if A is a Dedekind domain or a field. Moreover, a torsion-free divisible A-module M is catenary if and only if the vector space M over Q(A) (the field of fractions of A) is finite dimensional.

Let D be an integral domain and w be the so-called w-operation on D. In this note, we introduce the notion of *(w)-domains: D is a *(w)-domain if $(({\cap}(x_i))({\cap}(y_j)))_w={\cap}(x_iy_j)$ for all nonzero elements $x_1,{\ldots},x_m$; $y_1,{\ldots},y_n$ of D. We then show that D is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ v-multiplication domain if and only if D is a *(w)-domain and $A^{-1}$ is of finite type for all nonzero finitely generated fractional ideals A of D.

Let $F=R^{(n)}$ be a free R-module of finite rank $n{\geq}2$. In this paper, we characterize the prime submodules of F with at most n generators when R is a $Pr{\ddot{u}}fer$ domain. We also introduce the notion of prime matrix and we show that when R is a valuation domain, every finitely generated prime submodule of F with at least n generators is the row space of a prime matrix.

In this paper we give a full characterization of prime submodules of a finitely generated projective module M over a commutative ring R with identity. Also we study the existence of primary decomposition of a submodule of a finitely generated projective module and characterize the minimal primary decomposition of this submodule. Finally, we characterize the radical of an arbitrary submodule of a finitely generated projective module M and study submodules of M which satisfy the radical formula.

Let A be a commutative ring. We say that A is a ZPI ring if every proper ideal of A is a finite product of prime ideals [5]. In this paper, we study when the amalgamated duplication of A along an ideal I, A ⋈ I to be a ZPI ring. We show that if I is an idempotent ideal of A, then A is a ZPI ring if and only if A ⋈ I is a ZPI ring.

One says that a ring homomorphism R → S is Ohm-Rush if extension commutes with arbitrary intersection of ideals, or equivalently if for any element f ∈ S, there is a unique smallest ideal of R whose extension to S contains f, called the content of f. For Noetherian local rings, we analyze whether the completion map is Ohm-Rush. We show that the answer is typically 'yes' in dimension one, but 'no' in higher dimension, and in any case it coincides with the content map having good algebraic properties. We then analyze the question of when the Ohm-Rush property globalizes in faithfully flat modules and algebras over a 1-dimensional Noetherian domain, culminating both in a positive result and a counterexample. Finally, we introduce a notion that we show is strictly between the Ohm-Rush property and the weak content algebra property.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The structure theorem says that R is a PIR (resp., UFR, general ZPI-ring, π-ring) if and only if R is a finite direct product of PIDs (resp., UFDs, Dedekind domains, π-domains) and special primary rings. All of these four types of integral domains are Krull domains, so motivated by the structure theorem, we study the prime factorization of ideals in a ring that is a finite direct product of Krull domains and special primary rings. Such a ring will be called a general Krull ring. It is known that Krull domains can be characterized by the star operations v or t as follows: An integral domain R is a Krull domain if and only if every nonzero proper principal ideal of R can be written as a finite v- or t-product of prime ideals. However, this is not true for general Krull rings. In this paper, we introduce a new star operation u on R, so that R is a general Krull ring if and only if every proper principal ideal of R can be written as a finite u-product of prime ideals. We also study several ring-theoretic properties of general Krull rings including Kaplansky-type theorem, Mori-Nagata theorem, Nagata rings, and Noetherian property.

In this note, we mainly discuss strongly Gorenstein hereditary rings. We prove that for any ring, the class of SG-projective modules and the class of G-projective modules coincide if and only if the class of SG-projective modules is closed under extension. From this we get that a ring is an SG-hereditary ring if and only if every ideal is G-projective and the class of SG-projective modules is closed under extension. We also give some examples of domains whose ideals are SG-projective.
