Extract

1. Introduction. In a principal ideal domain R, any two-sided ideal is of the form Rc = cR, i.e. it has an invariant element as generator, and the customary development of ideal theory in a principal ideal domain (cf. e.g. (10), ch. III) takes on a more transparent form when expressed in terms of invariant elements. Likewise, the one-sided bounded ideals may be studied in terms of their generators.
