Ascent and descent results are given for the transfer of the -PIT and GPIT (generalized principal ideal theorem) properties between and . As a consequence, it follows that if is a maximal ideal of both and , then satisfies -PIT (resp., GPIT) if and only if satisfies -PIT (resp., GPIT). %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijmms/2012/743873/
