Let A be a commutative ring. We say that A is a ZPI ring if every proper ideal of A is a finite product of prime ideals [5]. In this paper, we study when the amalgamated duplication of A along an ideal I, A ⋈ I to be a ZPI ring. We show that if I is an idempotent ideal of A, then A is a ZPI ring if and only if A ⋈ I is a ZPI ring.

It is well known that an integral domain D is a Dedekind domain if and only if D is a Noetherian almost Dedekind domain. In this paper, we show that an integral domain D is a Dedekind domain if and only if D is an almost Dedekind domain such that Max(D) is a Noetherian topological space as a subspace of Spec(D) with respect to the Zariski topology. We also give a new characterization of ZPI-rings.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The structure theorem says that R is a PIR (resp., UFR, general ZPI-ring, π-ring) if and only if R is a finite direct product of PIDs (resp., UFDs, Dedekind domains, π-domains) and special primary rings. All of these four types of integral domains are Krull domains, so motivated by the structure theorem, we study the prime factorization of ideals in a ring that is a finite direct product of Krull domains and special primary rings. Such a ring will be called a general Krull ring. It is known that Krull domains can be characterized by the star operations v or t as follows: An integral domain R is a Krull domain if and only if every nonzero proper principal ideal of R can be written as a finite v- or t-product of prime ideals. However, this is not true for general Krull rings. In this paper, we introduce a new star operation u on R, so that R is a general Krull ring if and only if every proper principal ideal of R can be written as a finite u-product of prime ideals. We also study several ring-theoretic properties of general Krull rings including Kaplansky-type theorem, Mori-Nagata theorem, Nagata rings, and Noetherian property.
