We introduce in this work, the class of commutative rings whose lattice of ideals forms an MTL-algebra which is not necessary a BL-algebra. The so-called class of rings will be named MTL-rings. We prove that a local commutative ring with identity is an MTL-ring if and only if it is an arithmetical ring. It is shown that a noetherian commutative ring R with an identity is an MTL-ring if and only if ideals of the localization R M at a maximal ideal M are totally ordered by the set inclusion. Remarking that noetherian MTL-rings are again BL-rings, we work outside of the noetherian case by considering non-noetherian valuation domains and non-noetherian Prüfer domains. We established that non-noetherian valuation rings are the main examples of MTL-rings which are not BL-rings.This leads us to some constructions of MTL-rings from Prüfer domains: the case of holomorphic functions ring through their algebraic properties and the case of semilocal Prüfer domains through the theorem of independency of valuations. We end up giving a representation of MTL-rings in terms of subdirectly irreducible product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
