Ideals and multiplicative ideal theory in commutative rings (13A15) Principal ideal rings (13F10)

Abstract: Let $D$ be a principal ideal domain and $$ be its self-idealization. It is known that $R(D)$ is a commutative noetherian ring with identity, and hence $R(D)$ is atomic (i.e., every nonzero nonunit can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements). In this paper, we completely characterize the irreducible elements of $R(D)$. We then use this result to show how to factorize each nonzero nonunit of $R(D)$ into irreducible elements. We show that every irreducible element of $R(D)$ is a primary element, and we determine the system of sets of lengths of $R(D)$.
