Quasi-quadratic modules in pseudo-valuation domain
Masato Fujita, Masaru Kageyama
TL;DR
This work classifies quasi-quadratic modules over a pseudo-valuation domain $A$ by reducing them to residue-valuation data via a pseudo-angular component map. The authors construct explicit modules $M_g(\mathcal{M})$ and $\Psi(M,g)$ and prove that any $\mathcal{M}$ decomposes as $\mathcal{M}=\bigcup_{g\ge e}\Psi(M_g(\mathcal{M}),g)$, establishing a bijection $\sigma: \mathfrak X_A \to \mathfrak S_{F_0}^F$ with inverse $\rho$, thereby transferring the problem to a product of residue modules. They provide a comprehensive decomposition, closure properties, and a finite-generation criterion, including a detailed treatment of the char two case in the appendix. The results yield a concrete, computable framework for describing quasi-quadratic modules in pseudo-valuation contexts and connect to concrete classifications in Euclidean-field cases and explicit ring examples.
Abstract
We study quasi-quadratic modules in a pseudo-valuation domain $A$ whose strict units admit a square root. Let $\mathfrak X_R^N$ denote the set of quasi-quadratic modules in an $R$-module $N$, where $R$ is a commutative ring. It is known that there exists a unique overring $B$ of $A$ such that $B$ is a valuation ring with the valuation group $(G,\leq)$ and the maximal ideal of $B$ coincides with that of $A$. Let $F$ be the residue field of $B$. In the above setting, we found a one-to-one correspondence between $\mathfrak X_A^A$ and a subset of $\prod_{g \in G,g \geq e} \mathfrak X_{F_0}^F$.
