On Nagata rings with amalgamation properties
Abstract
Let RR and SS be two commutative rings with unity, let JJ be an ideal of SS and φ:R→Sφ:R→S be a ring homomorphism. In this paper, we give a characterization for the amalgamated algebra R⋈φJR⋈φJ to be a Nagata ring, a strong S-domain, and a catenarian. Also, we investigate the conditions that the ring of Hurwitz series over R⋈φJR⋈φJ has a complete comaximal factorization.
