We consider a question raised by Mowaffaq Hajja about the structure of a pr
incipal ideal domain R having the property that 1 is the only unit of R. We
also examine this unit condition for the case where R is a Euclidean domai
n. We prove that a finitely generated Euclidean domain having 1 as its only
unit is isomorphic to the field with two elements F-2 or to the polynomial
ring F-2[X] On the other hand, we establish existence of finitely generate
d principal ideal domains R such that 1 is the only unit of R and R is not
isomorphic to F-2 or to F-2[X]. We also construct principal ideal domains R
of infinite transcendence degree over F-2 with the property that 1 is the
only unit of R.
