A Prüfer manifold, also known as a Prüfer domain or Prüfer ring, is a specific type of mathematical structure studied in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. It is named after the mathematician Hans Prüfer. In algebraic terms, a Prüfer manifold is a generalized space in which certain sets of ideals exhibit a property similar to that of a Dedekind domain, but with more flexible conditions.
