No label defined (Q3973368)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00007.] Let \((R,m)\) be a \(d\)-dimensional normal local domain and \(I\) an \(m\)- primary ideal of \(R\). \(I\) is said to be \(1\)-fibered if the radical of \(I\overline {R(I)}\) is prime (here \(\overline {R(I)}\) denotes the normalization of the Rees ring \(R(I)=R[It]\)). The main result of this paper is that if such a domain \(R\) is analytically unramified and has a \(1\)-fibered ideal, then \(R\) is actually analytically irreducible. It is also conjectured that the converse holds, namely, that every analytically irreducible local domain has a \(1\)-fibered ideal. However, as noted in the paper, \textit{Dale Cutkosky} has recently constructed an example which disproves this conjecture.
