Abstract
A module B over a commutative domain R is said to be a Baer module if Ext R 1 (B, T)=0for all torsion R-modules T. The case in which R is an arbitrary valuation domain is investigated, and it is shown that in this case Baer modules are necessarily free. The method employed is totally different from Griffith's method for R=Z which breaks down for non-hereditary rings.
