When every finitely generated ideal is S-principal

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $S$-B\'ezout ring, as a generalization of B\'ezout ring. We investigate the relationships between $S$-B\'ezout and other related classes of rings. We establish some characterizations of $S$-B\'ezout rings. We study this property in various contexts of commutative rings including direct product, localization, trivial ring extensions and amalgamation rings. Our results allow us to construct new original classes of $S$-B\'ezout rings subject to various ring theoretical properties. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of nonnil $S$-B\'ezout ring and establish some characterizations.
