Is this algorithm for primary decomposition correct?
I've written some code for Sage to compute radical ideals and primary decompositions over $\overline{Q}$ (the field of algebraic numbers), and I'm not sure if it's right.
Since Singular (the ...

When $D$ and $D[x]$ have isomorphic $t$-class groups
In a 1987 paper, Stefania Gabelli studies the map
$$\psi: \{ \text{ideals of $D$} \} \rightarrow\{\text{ideals of $D[x]$\}}$$
$$\psi(I) = ID[x]$$
for a domain $D$. In fact $\psi$ always induces an ...
