On chained overrings of pseudo-valuation rings (Q4495362)

A prime ideal \(P\) of a commutative ring \(R\) with identity is called strongly prime if \(aP\) and \(bR\) are comparable for every \(a,b\) in \(R.\) If every prime ideal of \(R\) is strongly prime, then \(R\) is called a pseudo-valuation ring (PVR). It is well-known that a (valuation) chained overring of a Prüfer domain \(R\) is of the form \(R_{P}\) for some prime ideal \(P\) of \(R.\) In this paper, it is shown that this statement is valid for a certain class of chained overrings of a pseudo-valuation ring. In particular it is proved that if \(R\) is a PVR with maximal ideal \(M,\) and \(B\) is an overring of \(R\) containing an element of the form \(1/s\) for some nonzero divisor \(s\) of \(M,\) then \(B\) is a chained ring of the form \(R_{P}\) for some prime ideal \(P\) of \(R.\)
