This article introduces the concept of a condensed domain, that is, an integral domain R for which IJ = {ij: iI, jJ} for all ideals I and J of R. This concept is used to characterize Bézout domains (resp., principal ideal domains; resp., valuation domains) in suitably larger classes of integral domains. The main technical results state that a condensed domain has trivial Picard group and, if quasilocal, has depth at most 1. Special attention is paid to the Noetherian case and related examples.
