We study the relation of the ideal class group of a Dedekind domain A to that of As, where S is a multiplicatively closed subset of A. We construct examples of (a) a Dedekind domain with no principal prime ideal and (b) a Dedekind domain which is not the integral closure of a principal ideal domain. We also obtain some qualitative information on the number of non-principal prime ideals in an ar...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce some new classes of rings and modules that are closely related to the classes of almost Dedekind domains and almost Dedekind modules. We introduce the concepts of $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and $\Phi$-almost Dedekind modules and study some properties of this classes. In this paper we get some equivalent conditions for $\phi$-almost Dedekind rings and ...

We give an affirmative answer to a 1976 question of M. Rosen: every abelian group is isomorphic to the class group of an elliptic Dedekind domain R. We can choose R to be the integral closure of a PID in a separable quadratic field extension. In particular, this yields new and – we feel – simpler proofs of theorems of L. Claborn and C.R. Leedham-Green. Luther Claborn received his PhD from U. Mi...

Some results are obtained on the group of rational points on elliptic curves over infinite algebraic number fields. A certain naturally defined class of Dedekind domains, elliptic Dedekind domains, are described and it is shown that every countable abelian group can be realized as the class group of an elliptic Dedekind domain. Introduction. Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a field K. Le...

First, we give a complete description of the indecomposable prime modules over a Dedekind domain. Second, if R is the pullback, in the sense of [9], of two local Dedekind domains then we classify indecomposable prime R-modules and establish a connection between the prime modules and the pure-injective modules (also representable modules) over such rings.
