AP-domains and unique factorization

Abstract: In this paper we generalize the standard notion of unique factorization domains to the nonatomic situation. The main result of this paper is that, in contrast to the atomic situation, the assumption that every irreducible is prime (atoms prime) and the notion that every (atomic) nonzero nonunit can be factored uniquely into irreducible elements are distinct notions.

“…The example is a domain with a unique nonprime irreducible element (up to associates) and was constructed in [25]. In this domain, the uniqueness of the irreducible assures that any two irreducible factorizations are of the same length (in fact, unique).…”

“…The inductive construction of the domain in the proof of this theorem bears some resemblance to Artin's construction of the algebraic closure of a field in [11]. The examples in [7], [13], and in Proposition 2.4 of [12] are also constructed inductively.…”

“…The first example shows that every integral domain is contained in an integral domain (not a field) with no atoms. This type of integral domain has been studied extensively [3] We also note that the technique of Theorem 2.7 was used in [5] to construct an integral domain where all the finite atom factorizations are unique, but the atoms need not be prime. Proof.…”

“…He started with R = F [Z, { Roitman later showed that the power series ring A[[X]] also need not be atomic when A is an atomic domain [11]. This paper begins by revisiting results concerning Roitman's construction that are found in [1], [4], and [5]. Anderson and Anderson explored the factorization properties of an element r in R, R[X, r/X], and R[X] in [1].…”
