Proper fractional ideals of a number-field order #
The multiplier ring of a fractional ideal consists of the field elements preserving that ideal under multiplication. A fractional ideal is proper when its multiplier ring is exactly the order. An invertible fractional ideal is proper; the converse can fail for non-Gorenstein orders.
This distinction is needed when forming the Picard group from invertible ideals while keeping noninvertible proper ideals in the ideal class monoid.

Membership in the multiplier ring means preservation of every element of the ideal.
The order acts on each of its fractional ideals, so it lies in the multiplier ring.

Instances For
Properness is equality of the multiplier ring with the order.
Every field element preserves the zero ideal, so its multiplier ring is the whole field.
A proper fractional ideal is nonzero, so proper ideals enter the monoid of nonzero fractional ideals without a separate nonvanishing hypothesis.
Properness says exactly that any field element stabilizing the ideal belongs to the order.
