Decomposição de módulos livres de torção como soma direta de módulos de posto 1

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the result given by Bass in [4], which determines a condition on the integral domain R so that every finitely generated torsion free module is written as a direct sum of modules of rank 1. We show that a necessary condition is that all ideal in R is generated by two elements, in other words, that these domains are almost Dedekind domains. Then, we apply the result in the description of torsion free modules of finite rank over the coordinate rings of singular curves, whose singularities are nodal or cuspidal.
