    Given a unique factorization domain (UFD), the authors study conditions on ring extensions to be UFDs as well. Their results include inter alia generalizations of criteria given by \textit{P. Samuel} [Lectures on unique factorization domains. Notes by M. Pavman Murthy. Bombay: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1965; Zbl 0184.06601)] and \textit{S. Mori} [Jpn. J. Math., New Ser. 3, 223--238 (1977; Zbl 0393.13003)]. As application they construct \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded non-noetherian rational UFDs of dimension \(3\) over an arbitrary field \(k\). Moreover, they show that a certain class of rings defined by trinomial relations, which appear i.a. as Cox rings of varieties with torus ation of complexity one, are UFDs.
