Some remarks on Prüfer rings with zero-divisors
Federico Campanini, Carmelo Antonio Finocchiaro
Abstract
Let $A$ be the fiber product $R\times_TB$, where $B\to T$ is a surjective ring homomorphism with regular kernel and $R\subseteq T$ is a ring extension where $T$ is an overring of $R$. In this paper we provide a characterization of when $A$ has distinguished Prüfer-like properties and new constructions of Prüfer rings with zero-divisors. Furthermore we give examples of homomorphic images of Prüfer rings that are Prüfer without assuming that the kernel of the surjection is regular. Finally we provide some remarks on the ideal theory of pre-Prüfer rings.
