Abstract: Given a star operation * of finite type, we call a domain R a *-unique representation domain (*-URD) if each *-invertible *-ideal of R can be uniquely expressed as a *-product of pairwise *-comaximal ideals with prime radical. When * is the t-operation we call the *-URD simply a URD. Any unique factorization domain is a URD. Generalizing and unifying results due to Zafrullah and Brewer-Heinzer, we give conditions for a *-ideal to be a unique *-product of pairwise *-comaximal ideals with prime radical and characterize *-URDs. We show that the class of URDs includes rings of Krull type, the generalized Krull domains introduced by El Baghdadi and weakly Matlis domains whose t-spectrum is treed. We also study when the property of being a URD extends to some classes of overrings, such as polynomial extensions, rings of fractions and rings obtained by the D+XD_S[X] construction.

Review text

Given a star operation \(*\) of finite type, a domain \(R\) is said to be a \(*\)-unique representation domain (\(*-URD\)) if each \(*\)-invertible \(*\)-ideal can be uniquely expressed as a \(*\)-product of pairwise \(*\)-comaximal ideals with prime radicals. When \(*=t\), a \(*-URD\) is simply called a \(URD\) (Unique Representation Domain). The paper under review deals with \(*-URD\)'s and it contains three sections. In the first section, the authors characterize the \(PVMD\)'s that are \(URD\)'s. Mainly, a \(PVMD\) is a \(URD\) if and only if every nonzero principal ideal of \(R\) has at most finitely many minimal primes. In particular, a ring of Krull type is a \(URD\). The second section deals with a general approach. The main theorem states that if \(*\) is a star operation of finite type, then \(R\) is a \(*-URD\) if and only if \(*-\mathrm{Spect}(R)\) is treed and each proper \(*\)-ideal of finite type has only finitely many minimal primes, if and only if \(*-\mathrm{Spect}(R)\) is treed and each proper \(*\)-invertible \(*\)-ideal has only finitely many minimal primes if and only if \(*-\mathrm{Spect}(R)\) is treed and each nonzero proper principal ideal has only finitely many minimal primes. The last section discusses extensions to polynomial rings and ways of constructing \(URD\)'s. We note that a polynomial ring \(D[X]\) is a \(URD\) if and only if \(D\) is a \(UMT\) domain which is a \(URD\). Several applications and examples are constructed.
