Almost factoriality of integral domains and Krull-like domains (Q1928795)

An integral domain \(D\) is called a GCD-domain if \(aD\cap bD\) is principal for all \(0\neq a, b\in D\). In [Manuscr. Math. 51, 29--62 (1985; Zbl 0587.13010)], \textit{M. Zafrullah} introduced the notion of an almost GCD-domain (AGCD-domain). He called \(D\) an AGCD-domain if for all \(0\neq a, b\in D\) there exists an integer \(n=n(a,b)\geq1\) such that \(a^nD\cap b^nD\) is principal. After this notion several types of almost divisibility of integral domains have been studied, for example, AB-domains, AP-domains, AP\(v\)MDs, and etc. It is well-known that \(D\) is a Krull domain (resp. UFD) if and only if for every nonzero ideal \(I\) of \(D\), \(I_t\) is \(t\)-invertible (resp. principal). In the paper under review the authors defined and studied the notions of AK-domain and AUF-domain. A domain \(D\) is called AK-domain (resp. AUF-domain) if for each nonzero ideal \((\{a_{\alpha}\})\) of \(D\), there exists a positive integer \(n=n(\{a_{\alpha}\})\) such that \((\{a_{\alpha}\})_t\) is \(t\)-invertible (resp. principal).
