Abstract
The t-class semigroup of an integral domain is the semigroup of the isomorphy classes of the t-ideals with the operation induced by ideal t-multiplication. This paper investigates ring-theoretic properties of an integral domain that reflect reciprocally in the Clifford or Boolean property of its t-class semigroup. Contexts (including Lipman and Sally-Vasconcelos stability) that suit best t-multiplication are studied in an attempt to generalize well-known developments on class semigroups. We prove that a Prfer v-multiplication domain (PVMD) is of Krull type (in the sense of Grin [24]) if and only if its t-class semigroup is Cliord. This extends Bazzoni and Salce's results on valuation domains[11] and Prüfer domains [7], [8], [9], [10].
