In these notes we will first define projective modules and prove some standard properties of those modules. Then we will classify finitely generated projective modules over Dedekind domains Remark 0.1. All rings will be commutative with 1. 1. Projective modules Definition 1.1. Let R be a ring and let M be an R-module. Then M is called projective if for all surjections p : N → N ′ and a map f : ...

We study the relation of the ideal class group of a Dedekind domain A to that of As, where S is a multiplicatively closed subset of A. We construct examples of (a) a Dedekind domain with no principal prime ideal and (b) a Dedekind domain which is not the integral closure of a principal ideal domain. We also obtain some qualitative information on the number of non-principal prime ideals in an ar...

First, we give a complete description of the indecomposable prime modules over a Dedekind domain. Second, if R is the pullback, in the sense of [9], of two local Dedekind domains then we classify indecomposable prime R-modules and establish a connection between the prime modules and the pure-injective modules (also representable modules) over such rings.
