Fractional Ideal - Divisorial Ideal

Divisorial Ideal

Let denote the intersection of all principal fractional ideals containing a nonzero fractional ideal I. Equivalently,

where

(ideal quotient)

If then I is called divisorial. In other words, a divisorial ideal is a nonzero intersection of some nonempty set of fractional principal ideals. If I is divisorial and J is a nonzero fractional ideal, then I : J is divisorial.

An integral domain that satisfies the ascending chain conditions on divisorial ideals is called a Mori domain.

Famous quotes containing the word ideal:

    Cassoulet, that best of bean feasts, is everyday fare for a peasant but ambrosia for a gastronome, though its ideal consumer is a 300-pound blocking back who has been splitting firewood nonstop for the last twelve hours on a subzero day in Manitoba.
    Julia Child (b. 1912)
