Description
We say that a commutative ring R has the unique decomposition into ideals (UDI) property if, for any R-module which decomposes into a _nite direct sum of indecomposable ideals, this decomposition is unique up to the order and isomorphism class of the ideals. In a 2001 paper, Goeters and Olberding characterize the UDI property for Noetherian integral domains and in a 2011 paper Ay and Klingler obtain similar results for Noetherian reduced rings. We characterize the UDI property for Noetherian rings in general.
