Well behaved prime t-ideals (Q917607)

In the integral domain \(D\), the fractional ideal \(A\) is a t-ideal if \(A=\cup (F^{-1})^{-1}\), over all finitely generated nonzero subideals of \(A\). Let \(P\) be an integral prime t-ideal of \(D\). This paper characterizes when \(PD_P\) is again a t-ideal. If \(P\) is also maximal with respect to being a t-ideal, and if \(PD_P\) is again a t-ideal, an example is given to show that there may be a prime t-ideal \(Q\leq P\) with \(QD_Q\) not a t-ideal. It is concluded that t-idealness is often lost upon localization.
