Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the integral domain D(S,r):=D+(X1,X2,...,Xr)DS[X1, X2,...,Xr], where D is an integral domain and S is a multiplicative set of D. The purpose is to pursue the study, initiated by Costa-Mott-Zafrullah in 1978, concerning the prime ideal structure of such domains. We characterize when D(S,r) is a strong S-domain, a stably strong S-domain, a catenarian domain and a universally catenarian domain. As a consequence, we obtain a new class of non-Noetherian universally catenarian domains. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for the Krull dimension of D(S,r) (depending on S and on the Krull dimensions of D and DS[X1,X2,...,Xr]) and we compute its valuative dimension.
