On ideals in quantales -- I

Abstract

Taking a ring-theoretic perspective as our motivation, the main aim of this series is to establish a comprehensive theory of ideals in commutative quantales with an identity element. This particular article focuses on an examination of several key properties related to ideals in quantale, including prime, semiprime, radical, primary, irreducible, and strongly irreducible ideals. Furthermore, we investigate the primary decomposition problem for quantale ideals. In conclusion, we present a set of future directions for further exploration, serving as a natural continuation of this article.
