Is $\mathbb{Z}\Bigl[\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}\Bigr]$ a Dedekind Domain? Can anyone help me with a detailed reasoning?

    There are *many* definitions and/or characterizations of Dedekind domains. Which do you have available?2012-07-24

    @Bill: Noetherian Integrally closed domain of Krull Dimension $1$. I am also familiar with the definition that every non zero ideal factors as prime ideals and every fractional ideal is invertible, though I don't consider myself handling these definitions very well:(2012-07-24

    Hint: [it is a PID](http://math.stackexchange.com/q/137876/242) $\Rightarrow$ Dedekind. Generally localizations preserves PIDs. $\ \ $2012-07-24

    @Bill: You mean to say this: We know, that $\mathbb{Z}$ is a P.I.D, so localizing gives $\mathbb{Z}\Bigl[\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}\Bigr]$ as a P.I.D, and since it's a P.I.D its is a Dedikind domain.2012-07-24

    That's one route.2012-07-24
