Abstract

An integral domain $D$ is called a emph{locally GCD domain} if $D_{M}$ is a GCD domain for every maximal ideal $M$ of $D$. We study some ring-theoretic properties of locally GCD domains. E.g., we show that $D$ is a locally GCD domain if and only if $aD\cap bD$ is locally principal for all $0\neq a,b\in D$, and flat overrings of a locally GCD domain are locally GCD. We also show that the t-class group of a locally GCD domain is just its Picard group. We study when a locally GCD domain is Pr"{u}fer or a generalized GCD domain. We also characterize locally factorial domains as domains $D$ whose minimal prime ideals of a nonzero principal ideal are locally principal and discuss conditions that make them Krull domains. We use the $D+XD_{S}[X]$ construction to give some interesting examples of locally GCD domains that are not GCD domains.
