The word ring is used to mean commutative ring. Just as valuations on fields are used to study domains, so valuations on rings can be used to study rings; these rings need not have units [12]. We introduce slightly weaker conditions than having identity in order to get a more general theory. A Prufer ring A is one in which every finitely generated regular ideal is invertible. If we replace invertibility in the total quotient ring K, by invertibility in a ring R where A ⊆ R ⊆ K we get an R-Prufer ring. These rings do occur, for example the Witt ring of a non-Pythagorean field or a ring of bounded continuous functions.
