Extract

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, and let U be a unitary commutative R-algebra with identity. In [1] Gilmer defines the (l/n)th power (n a positive integer) of a valuation ideal R when R is a domain. Sections 2, 3 of the present note are devoted to the study of an extension of this notion to positive rational powers of an arbitrary R-submodule of U.
