Well I have no idea what a bezout domain is. An interesting example of an non-principal integral domain where every finitely generated ideal is principal would be the holomorphic functions on a connected open set in the plane. Take the entire functions, for example: A finitely generated domain is principal (if f_1, ... f_n are entire functions and the zero set of f is the intersection of the zero sets of f_1, ... f_n then the ideal generated by f_1,..f_n is the same as the ideal generated by f), but I is a non-principal ideal, if I is the set of entire functions f such that there exists N with f(n) = 0 for all integers n > N. > Thanks. > > -- > -- Oh, dejanews lets you add a sig - that's useful...
