Weakly integrally closed domains and forbidden patterns

An integral domain D is weakly integrally closed if whenever there is an element x in the quotient field of D and a nonzero finitely generated ideal J of D such that xJ J2, then x is in D. We define weakly integrally closed numerical monoids similarly. If a monoid algebra is weakly integrally closed, then so is the monoid. A pattern F of finitely many 0's and 1's is forbidden if whenever the characteristic binary string of a numerical monoid M contains F, then M is not weakly integrally closed. Any stretch of the pattern 11011 is forbidden. A numerical monoid M is weakly integrally closed if and only if it has a forbidden pattern. For every finite set S of forbidden patterns, there exists a monoid that is not weakly integrally closed and that contains no stretch of a pattern in S. It is shown that particular monoid algebras are weakly integrally closed. / by Mary E.
