Multiplication rings and graded rings (Q4934128)

A graded ring \(R\) is called a \(gr\)-multiplication ring if every graded ideal \(I\) is \(gr\)-multiplication as an \(R\)-module, i.e., if \(J\) is a graded submodule of \(I\), then there is an ideal \(I'\) of \(R\) such that \(J=II'\). For example, if \(R\) is a graded domain, \(R\) is \(gr\)-multiplication if and only if \(R\) is a \(gr\)-Dedekind domain. This paper is a sequel to the authors' previous paper [Commun. Algebra 26, No. 6, 1867-1883 (1998; Zbl 0902.18003)]. In the present paper, the authors obtain some characterizations of \(gr\)-multiplication rings similar to those in the ungraded case. For example, they prove that if \(R\) is strongly graded by an ordered group, then \(R\) is \(gr\)-multiplication if and only if \(P\) is \(gr\)-multiplication for every graded prime ideal \(P\) of \(R\). In the last section, they explore the relationships among the conditions that \(R\) is multiplication, \(R\) is \(gr\)-multiplication and \(R_e\) is multiplication.
