Abstract

We present some results concerning prime elements in integral domains. In particular we deal with the following question: Does every order in an algebraic number field has infinitely many prime elements? Then we show that for real quadratic fields the answer to that question is positive. We also give certain partial results and examples about prime polynomials in two or more variables with coefficients from arbitrary integral domain.
