On locally divided integral domains and CPI-overrings

It is proved that an integral domain R is locally divided if and only if each CPI-extension of ℬ (in the sense of Boisen and Sheldon) is R-flat (equivalently, if and only if each CPI-extension of R is a localization of R). Thus, each CPI-extension of a locally divided domain is also locally divided....

Description
Summary:It is proved that an integral domain R is locally divided if and only if each CPI-extension of ℬ (in the sense of Boisen and Sheldon) is R-flat (equivalently, if and only if each CPI-extension of R is a localization of R). Thus, each CPI-extension of a locally divided domain is also locally divided. Treed domains are characterized by the going-down behavior of their CPI-extensions. A new class of (not necessarily treed) domains, called CPI-closed domains, is introduced. Examples include locally divided domains, quasilocal domains of Krull dimension 2, and qusilocal domains with the QQR-property. The property of being CPI-closed behaves nicely with respect to the D+M construction, but is not a local property.
