An overring-theoretic approach to polynomial extensions of star and semistar operations

摘要

Call a semistar operation on the polynomial domain D[X] an extension (respectively, a strict extension) of a semistar operation defined on an integral domain D, with quotient field K, if E = (E[X]) K (respectively, E [X] = (E[X]) for all nonzero D-submodules E of K. In this article, we study the general properties of the above defined extensions and link our work with earlier efforts, centered on the stable semistar operation case, at defining semistar operations on D[X] that are "canonical" extensions (or, "canonical" strict extensions) of semistar operations on D.
