Prescribed subintegral extensions of local Noetherian domains (Q392448): Difference between revisions

An extension of (commutative) rings \(R \subseteq S\) is subintegral if it is integral, the contraction mapping \(\mathrm{Spec}(S)\longrightarrow\mathrm{Spec}(R)\) is a bijection and the induced maps on residue field extensions are isomorphisms. In this article the author worked out some of the local algebra for a special class of subintegral extensions of Noetherian rings developed in [\textit{B. Olberding}, J. Algebra 365, 199--221 (2012; Zbl 1262.13031)], with the goal of showing how given a local Noetherian ring \(S\), a subintegral extension \(R \subseteq S\) can be found with prescribed invariants. In particular, he considered invariants such as reduction number, Hilbert function, multiplicity, and local cohomology, for ideals \(I\) in subintegral extensions \(R \subseteq S\) of Noetherian rings with the property that \(I\) is contracted from \(S\), i.e., \( I = IS \cap R\). The construction behaves analytically like Nagata idealization but rather than a ring extension of \(S\), it produces a subring \(R\) of \(S\) such that \(R \subseteq S\) is subintegral.
