The plus closure in mixed characteristic (Q1364312)

Let \(I\) be an arbitrary ideal in an integrally closed domain \(R\). The plus closure of \(I\) is defined to be the ideal \(I^+ = IR^+\cap R\), where \(R^+\) denotes the integral closure of \(R\) in an algebraic closure of its quotient field. \textit{M. Hochster} and \textit{C. Huneke} [Adv. Math. 113, No. 1, 45-117 (1995; Zbl 0834.13013)] have used this notion to prove a generalized Briançon-Skoda theorem which says that if \(R\) is a noetherian ring of characteristic \(p\) and if \(I\) is generated by \(n\) elements, then \(\overline{I^{m+n}}\subseteq (I^{m+1})^+\) for any integer \(m\geq 0\), where \(\overline{J}\) denotes the integral closure of the ideal \(J\). The aim of this paper is to develop a mixed characteristic analogue of this theorem. If \(p \in \sqrt{I}\), the author obtains the desired result in a number of cases which contains the equicharacteristic case as a corollary.
