Description
In this dissertation, we consider six Prufer-like conditions on acommutative ring R. These conditions form a hierarchy. Being a Prufer ring is not a local property: a Prufer ring may not remain a Prufer ring when localized at a prime or maximal ideal. We introduce a seventh condition based on this fact and extend the hierarchy. All the conditions of the hierarchy become equivalent in the case of a domain, namely a Prufer domain. We also seek the relationship of the hierarchy with strong Prufer rings.
