prime submodules; primary submodules; primary decomposition
Summary:
In this paper we characterize all prime and primary submodules of the free $R$-module $R^{n}$ for a principal ideal domain $R$ and find the minimal primary decomposition of any submodule of $R^{n}$. In the case $n=2$, we also determine the height of prime submodules.
