Dedekind Modules

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity element and \(M\) an unital \(R\)-module. Let \(S\) be the set of nonzero divisors of \(R\). Then, \[ T = \{t\in S\mid tm=0 \text{ for some } m\in M \text{ implies } m=0\} \] is a multiplicatively closed subset of \(R\). Let \(T^{-1}R\) be the localization of \(R\) at \(T\). The authors follow \textit{A. G. Naoum} and \textit{F. H. Al-Alwan} [Commun. Algebra 24, 413--424 (1996; Zbl 0864.13008)] to define \( xm\in M\) if there is \(m_1\in M\) such that \(tm_1=rm\), where \(x=\frac{r}{t}\in T^{-1}R\) and \(0\neq m\in M\). Then the authors define the concept of ``integrally closed of modules as a generalization of this concept for rings: An \(R\)-module \(M\) is said to be integrally closed whenever \(y^n m_n+\cdots+ym_1+m_0=0\), for some natural number \(n\), \(y\in T^{-1}R\) and \(m_i \in M\) then \(ym_n \in M\). According to this generalization, the authors give some characterizations for Dedekind modules and Dedekind domains. Their main results are presented in theorems 1 and 2.
