In this paper we will examine properties of and relationships between rings that share some properties with integral domains, but whose definitions are less restrictive. If $R$ is a commutative ring with identity, we call $R$ a \textit{domainlike} ring if all zero-divisors of $R$ are nilpotent, which is equivalent to $(0)$ being primary. We exhibit properties of domainlike rings, and we compare them to presimplifiable rings and (hereditarily) strongly associate rings. Further, we consider idealizations, localizations, zero-divisor graphs, and ultraproducts of domainlike rings.
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.
