Content Algebras Over Commutative Rings With Zero-Divisors

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $c$ the function from $M$ to the ideals of $R$ defined by $c(x) = cap lbrace I colon I text{is an ideal of} R text{and} x in IM rbrace $. $M$ is said to be a content $R$-module if $x in c(x)M $, for all $x in M$. $B$ is called a content $R$-algebra, if it is a faithfully flat and content $R$-module and it satisfies the Dedekind-Mertens content formula. In this article, we prove some new results for content modules and algebras by using ideal theoretic methods.
