We establish a characterization (under some natural conditions) of those orders in Dedekind domains which allow a transfer homomorphism to a monoid of zero-sum sequences. As a consequence, the inclusion map to the Dedekind domain is a transfer homomorphism, with the exception of a particular case. The arithmetic of Krull and Dedekind domains is well understood, and the existence of a transfer homomorphism implies that the order and the associated Dedekind domain share the same arithmetic properties. This is not the case for arbitrary orders in Dedekind domains. |
