Ore domain
Let be a domain (http://planetmath.org/IntegralDomain).We say that is a right Ore domainif any two nonzero elements of have a nonzero common right multiple,i.e. for every pair of nonzero and ,there exists a pair of elements and of such that .
This condition turns out to be equivalentto the following conditions on when viewed as a right -module:
(a) is a uniform module.
(b) is a module of finite rank.
The definition of a left Ore domain is similar.
If is a commutative domain (http://planetmath.org/IntegralDomain),then it is a right (and left) Ore domain.
