Elasticity and ramification

From MaRDI portal





The author studies the elasticity of atomic domains of the form \(A+XB[X]\), where \(A\subset B\) is an integral extension of domains and \(X\) is an indeterminate over \(B\), where the elasticity \(\rho(R)\) of a domain \(R\) is defined as \(\rho(R)=\sup \{m/n:x_1 \dots x_m=y_1 \dots y_n;x_i, y_j\in R\) irreducible\}. She shows that for \(A=\mathbb{Z}\) this elasticity is infinite. For \(A=V\), where \(V\) is a discrete valuation ring with quotient field \(K\) where \(B\) is its integral closure in a finite extension of \(K\) she shows that the elasticity of \(V+XB[X]\) depends on the way the only (up to unit) irreducible element \(p\) of \(V\) decomposes in \(B\).
