Numerical Semigroup Rings and Almost Prüfer v-Multiplication Domains

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, X be an indeterminate over D, Γ be a numerical semigroup with Γ {subset of with not equal to} ℕ ₀, D[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over D (and hence D {subset of with not equal to} D[Γ] {subset of with not equal to} D[X]), and D + X ⁿK[X] = {a + X ⁿg{divides}a ∈ D and g ∈ K[X]}. We show that there exists an order-preserving bijection between Spec(D[X]) and Spec(D[Γ]), which also preserves t-ideals. We also prove that D[Γ] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain) if and only if D[X] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain) and char(D) ≠ 0. We show that if n ≥ 2, then D is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain, AGGCD-domain, AP-domain, AB-domain) and char(D) ≠ 0 if and only if D + X ⁿK[X] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain, AGGCD-domain, AP-domain, AB-domain). Finally, we give some examples of APvMDs which are not AGCD-domains by using the constructions D[Γ] and D + X ⁿK[X].
