| Summary:
             | 
The paper studies the structure of the ring A of arithmetical functions, where the multiplication is defined as the Dirichlet convolution. It is proven that A itself is not a discrete valuation ring, but a certain extension of it is constructed,this extension being a discrete valuation ring. Finally, the metric structure of the ring A is examined. (English) |
