Commutative ring theory

the long version

Presenting the proceedings of the recently held Second International Conference on Commutative Ring Theory in Fes, Morocco, this up-to-date reference details the latest developments in commutative algebra - highlighting the theory of rings and ideals. Exploring commutative algebra's connections with and applications to topological algebra and algebraic geometry, Commutative Ring Theory covers spectra of rings...dimension theory...chain conditions...class groups...duals of ideals...Mori and Krull domains...Prufer domains...integer-valued polynomials...semigroup rings...seminormalization and weak normalization...generators of ideals...homological aspects...and more. Furnishing over 580 literature citations, allowing further in-depth study of particular topics, Commutative Ring Theory is a vital resource for research mathematicians, algebraists, commutative ring theorists, and graduate students in these disciplines.
