Abstract: A commutative Noetherian local ring $ (R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ is called Dedekind-like provided $ R$ is one-dimensional and reduced, the integral closure $ \overline{R}$ is generated by at most 2 elements as an $ R$-module, and $ \mathfrak{m}$ is the Jacobson radical of $ \overline{R}$. If $ M$ is an indecomposable finitely generated module over a Dedekind-like ring $ R$, and if $ P$ is a minimal prime ideal of $ R$, it follows from a classification theorem due to L. Klingler and L. Levy that $ M_P$ must be free of rank 0, 1 or 2.

Now suppose $ (R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ is a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring that is not Dedekind-like, and let $ P_1,\dotsc,P_t$ be the minimal prime ideals of $ R$. The main theorem in the paper asserts that, for each non-zero $ t$-tuple $ (n_1,\dotsc,n_t)$ of non-negative integers, there is an infinite family of pairwise non-isomorphic indecomposable finitely generated $ R$-modules $ M$ satisfying $ M_{P_i}\cong(R_{P_i})^{(n_i)}$ for each $ i$.
