ASSOCIATIONS AND VALUATIONS

From MaRDI portal





In any semigroup \(H\) with \(0\) and \(1\) define a partial preordering by writing \(a\geq b\) if \(a\in bH\). If this preorder is total and \(ab=ac\neq 0\) implies \(b=cu\) for a unit \(u\), then \(H\) is called a right cone. The multiplicative semigroup of a valuation ring (or of its homomorphic images) is always a left and right cone, and in any left preordered group the subset of elements \(\geq 1\) is a right cone. Two right cones \(H_1\), \(H_2\) are said to be associated if there is an order-preserving bijection between their sets of right ideals in which prime ideals correspond, as well as completely prime ideals. The authors state a number of problems and prove: If \(G\) is an ordered group and \(H\) is a right cone in \(G\) such that \(aH\subset bH\) (\(a,b\in H\)) implies \(a>b\) in \(G\), then \(H\) is associated to a right chain domain. -- For any right chain domain \(R\) the set \(R^\times=R\setminus\{0\}\) is a right cone associated to the set of principal right ideals of \(R^\times\) and the authors state a number of conditions for the mapping \(a\to aR^\times\), where \(R\) is a right invariant right chain domain with skew field of fractions \(F\), to be extendible to a valuation on \(F\); example: \(Ja\subseteq aJ\), for all \(a\in R\), where \(J\) is the Jacobson radical.
