The Schreier Property and Gauss' Lemma
Let be an integral domain with quotient field . Recall that is Schreier if is integrally closed and for all , implies that where e . A GCD domain is Schreier. We show that an integral domain is a GCD domain if and only if (i) for each pair , there is a finitely generated ideal such that and (ii) every quadratic in that is a product of two linear polynomials in is a product of two linear polynomials in . We also show that is Schreier if and only if every polynomial...
