Krull modules (Q2854034)

The authors generalize definitions of some classes of commutative domains related to Krull domains (such as \(v\)-Prüfer, essential, \(\pi\)-, Mori, Krull) to appropriate definitions for the classes of torsion-free modules; these generalizations continue work in this area by other authors. A number of domain properties for those classes is translated into the corresponding classes of modules, particularly for a subclass of finitely generated torsion-free modules, namely faithful multiplication modules. One of the results is as follows: Let \(M\) be a faithful multiplication module over an integral domain \(R\) and let \(X\) be one of the following phrases: \(v\)-Prüfer, essential, \(\pi\)-, Mori, Krull. Then \(M\) is an \(X\)-module iff \(R\) is an \(X\)-domain. Krull, Dedekind \(\pi\) and factorial faithful multiplication modules are characterized by equivalent conditions.
