Fermeture intégrale et changement de base
In this paper we characterize commutative rings with finite dimensional classical ring of quotients. To illustrate the diversity of behavior of these rings we examine the case of local rings and FPF rings. Our results extend earlier work on rings with zero-dimensional rings of quotients.
We show that non-flatness of a morphism φ:X→ Y of complex-analytic spaces with a locally irreducible target of dimension n manifests in the existence of vertical components in the n-fold fibred power of the pull-back of φ to the desingularization of Y. An algebraic analogue follows: Let R be a locally (analytically) irreducible finite type ℂ-algebra and an integral domain of Krull dimension n, and let S be a regular n-dimensional algebra of finite type over R (but not necessarily a finite R-module),...
