Abstract: The paper deals with ring extensions

and their lattices

of subextensions and is mainly devoted to FCP extensions (extensions whose lattices are Artinian and Noetherian). The object of the paper is the introduction and the study of elements of the lattices that split in some sense ring extensions. The reason why is that this splitting was used in earlier paper without their common nature being recognized. There are some favorable cases allowing to build splitters, mainly when we are dealing with

-extensions, for example integral extensions. Integral closures and Prufer hulls of extensions play a dual role. The paper gives many combinatorics results with the explicit computation of the Prufer hull of an FCP extension. We show that a split extension cannot be pinched, except trivially.

Review text

Let \(R\subseteq S\) be a ring extension, and let \([R,S]\) be the set of \(R\)-subalgebras of \(S\). If each chain in \([R,S]\) is finite (equivalently, if \([R,S]\) has both the ascending and descending chain conditions) then \(R\subseteq S\) is called an \textit{FCP extension}. In this paper, the authors generalize the notion of factorization of a ring extension by saying that \(R\subseteq S\) \textit{split} at \(T\in[R,S]\) if the supports of \(T/R\) and \(S/R\) (as \(R\)-modules) are disjoint. The authors explores this concept in several types of FCP extensions, for example in Prüfer and almost-Prüfer extensions and in \(\mathcal{B}\)-extensions, and characterize when \(R\subseteq S\) splits at particular intermediate rings, like the integral closure \(\overline{R}\) of \(R\) in \(S\) or the Prüfer hull \(\widetilde{R}\). The final section presents some results on \textit{pinched} extensions, i.e., extensions for which there is a ring \(R\subsetneq T\subsetneq S\) such that every ring in \([R,S]\) is comparable with \(T\).
