Let \(D\) be an integral domain with quotient field \(K\) and set \(F'(D)\) of non-zero \(D\)-submodules of \(K\). A mapping \(*:F'(D)\to F'(D)\) is called a semistar-operation on \(D\) if \(*\) is a closure operation on \(F'(D)\) satisfying \((aI)^* =aI^*\) for all \(0\neq a\in K\) and \(I\in F'(D)\). Thus a semistar-operation \(*\) is a weakened form of a star-operation in that we are not assuming that \(D^*=D\). Let \(\Sigma'(D)\) be the set of semistar-operations on \(D\). The main result of this note is that an \(n\)-dimensional domain \(D\) has \(|\Sigma' (D)|= n+1\) if and only if \(D\) is a discrete valuation domain.
