ON v-MAROT MORI RINGS AND C-RINGS

C-domains are defined via class semigroups, and every C- domain is a Mori domain with nonzero conductor whose complete integral closure is a Krull domain with finite class group. In order to extend the concept of C-domains to rings with zero divisors, we study v-Marot rings as generalizations of ordinary Marot rings and investigate their theory of regular divisorial ideals. Based on this we establish a generalization of a result well-known for integral domains. Let R be a v-Marot Mori ring, R＾ its complete integral closure, and suppose that the conductor f = (R : R＾) is regular. If the residue class ring R/f and the class group C(R＾) are both finite, then R is a C-ring. Moreover, we study both v-Marot rings and C-rings under various ring extensions. KCI Citation Count: 20
