Dagger closure in regular rings containing a field

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that dagger closure is trivial in regular domains containing a field and that graded dagger closure is trivial in polynomial rings over a field. We also prove that Heitmann's full rank one closure coincides with tight closure in positive characteristic under some mild finiteness conditions. Furthermore, we prove that dagger closure is always contained in solid closure and that the forcing algebra for an element contained in dagger closure is parasolid.


\textit{M. Hochster} and \textit{C. Huneke} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 71, No. 2--3, 233--247 (1991; Zbl 0734.13003)] introduced a characteristic-free approach to tight closure of ideals in the context of noetherian local complete domains and called it dagger closure. The main result of the paper under review states that dagger closure is trivial in regular domains containing a field. The proof uses the concept of balanced big Cohen-Macaulay algebras. So the mentioned property remains open when the ring is of mixed characteristic. An application of the result is given. In [\textit{H. Brenner} and \textit{A. Stäbler}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 365, No. 11, 5883--5910 (2013; Zbl 1304.13007)] there is a beautiful geometric approach of dagger closure and it provides a graded variant of dagger closure agree with solid closure in graded dimension 2.
