%0 Journal Article %T On locally divided integral domains and CPI-overrings %A David E.

Thus, each CPI-extension of a locally divided domain is also locally divided. Treed domains are characterized by the going-down behavior of their CPI-extensions. A new class of (not necessarily treed) domains, called CPI-closed domains, is introduced. Examples include locally divided domains, quasilocal domains of Krull dimension 2, and qusilocal domains with the QQR-property. The property of being CPI-closed behaves nicely with respect to the D+M construction, but is not a local property. %K integral domain %K prime ideal %K CPI-extension %K flat over-ring %K localization %K locally divided %K going-down %K treed %K quasilocal %K QQR-property %K жд-domain %K D+M construction %K Krull direction. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/S0161171281000082
