An Analog of Nagata's Theorem for Modular LCM Domains

The theorem referred to in the title asserts that for an atomic commutative integral domain R, if S is a submonoid of R* (the monoid of nonzero elements of R) generated by primes such that the quotient ring RS-1 is a UFD (unique factorization domain) then R is also a UFD [8]. Recently several definitions of a noncommutative UFD have been proposed (see the summary in [6]).
