Revision difference : ideals in a Dedekind domain
Version 4 Version 3
Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain, and let $\mathfrak{a}$ and $\mathfrak{b}$ be ideals of $R$. Then there is an element $\omega$ and an ideal $\mathfrak{c}$ of $R$ such that Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Then there
$$\mathfrak{ac} = (\omega)$$ exists an ideal $J$ in $R$ such that $IJ$ is principal.
$$\mathfrak{b+c} = R.$$
This result was proved by Steinitz in 1911.
