Commutative rings with square-difference factor absorbing factorization

Abstract

We introduce and study sdf-absorbing factorization rings (SAF-rings), in which every regular ideal is a finite product of square-difference factor absorbing ideals. We investigate their behavior under direct products, localizations, factor rings, and module idealizations, and establish connections with SP-rings, Dedekind rings, and N-rings. We also introduce strongly sdf-absorbing factorization rings (SSAF-rings), relate them to SSP-rings and almost multiplication rings, and prove that the Noetherian SSAF-rings are precisely the ZPI-rings. Applications to module idealizations and monoid rings are also presented.
