Abstract

Answering a long-standing question in the theory of torsion modules, we show that weakly productively bounded domains are necessarily productively bounded. (See the Introduction for definitions.) Moreover, we prove a twin result for the ideal lattice L of a domain equating weak and strong global intersection conditions for families (Xi)iI of subsets of L with the property that ∩i)iIAi≠0 whenever AiXi. Finally, we show that for domains with Krull dimension (and countably generated extensions thereof), these lattice-theoretic conditions are equivalent to productive boundedness.
